4 wipes per wash - aaarrrrggghhhh

[alan.bennett]

anyone got an easy fix for the blinking wash wipe system on the elise??? - I've got an S2 and washing the window gets it lovely and clean, then the ba***rd wipers keep on wiping 4 times untill it's all smeared with c**p again. - it's driving me nuts!

about a year ago i think eliseparts did a wee box to turn it into a 2 wipes per wash system, but I can't find it on their website any more. - should have bought one then!

anyone got a fix before I have to kill the wipers?????

chears

The BX wash bar thing looks really good!! - I'll definately try that one, but I'm still desperate to get it to wipe just twice for every wash.

Wantalotus - can you find the details? - I can't find the threads! - 2 wipes per wash sounds great, and the variable intermittent would be great. - I've got the recipe for making a wee circuit board to do the variable intermittent bit,b ut if you can do it from the relay, that sounds much better!

cheers

The Bosch part number is discontinued!!! - but after a bit of internet surfing I found the Volkswagen number which is 3B0955531.

my local VW garage wants £30 for it, though so I'm going to the scrappy - aparently you get them in pretty much every mark3 Golf (93-97) as well as the passat, vento and transporter from that time as well!

fingers crossed!

I must find a decent car breaker, but if it helps i found this through google

www.parts4vws.com/catalog/product_detail.asp?PartNumber=3B0955531

i guess it shows what we're looking for!

according to the computer maintainence computer thing at the VW dealer, it is at the top right corner of the VW relay box.

YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!!

it works!!!!

I went to the scrappy, and in the 2nd Mk3 Golf I looked in had the relay with the magic "99" writtin on it. -

the first one i tried was a "19" so thanks heaps guys for the info on that one!

plugged it straight into the car and it works PERFECTLY!!!!

fab variable intermittent and 2 wipes per wash!!!

CHEERS GUYS!!!!

Yes, VW do sell them, but they'll charge you £30, and no guarantees they'll get the right bit, and they won't refund on any electrical parts as a rule!

5 mins in a scrappy is definately the way to go!!!

Fitted the Citroen BX wiper mounted washer bar thisafternoon. - it's fantastic!!!

took about 20 mins to fit, didn't need to drill any holes, and now i can actually get the windscreen clean!

it's a miracle!!!

just a bummer i only got round to doing it at the END of the winter.!
