Is it just mine or do other peoples S2 Exiges, poss all S2's have 4 complete wipes of the screen after squirting washer fluid? This extra wiping smears what dirt there may have been left on the screen and leaves it worse than before.
May be just mine as i havent heard about anything on here before. Interested to find out how many wipes yours has.

You need to change the wiper relay...

The new part will give you 1 or 2 sweeps after spraying, and as a bonus adjustable delay on the intermittent setting (it's set by flicking the wipers on to intermitten - i.e. single wipe, then waiting however long, and then turning them back onto intermittent)

This is all assuming it's the same relay as on the VX220 - which it almost certainly is.

The part number is:
Bosch: 0 986 335 058

Bosch's website will tell you where the nearest dealer is that can supply it for you. (I got 15 from Bristol Auto Electrical, but they've all gone now)

They're around £21 + VAT each - but well worth it.
