Hi there, I hope somebody can help me - I'm new to the forum but have been trying to resolve a problem with my Altea and need to pick your brains!
We recently took our car into the garage to replace the passenger front coil spring and while doing so, they damaged the wiper linkage(?) and had to replace a bracket (I think - I'm a girl so what do I know!). Anyway, since then the wipers work ok when turned on but revert to the service position when turned off rather than returning to the A pillars.
I have tried nudging the wiper as suggested in another thread but it didn't work and now I'm thinking of trying the other suggestion of disconnecting the battery.
I've done a bit more reading and I think I need to disconnect the battery for 30 mins and then reconnect but I just want to check something before I do this ...
Will I only have to re-enter my radio code or will anything else be messed up? Only, I saw some other entries that mentioned having to open and close windows, switch on electrics etc so that the computer re-learns everything. I am very confused and quite worried so if anybody has disconnected their battery, can you tell me what happened?
Thanks very much.
