wiper intermission woes!

Gosh darn it! Just as I get the GTi sorted and everything running super-sweetly: more electrical gremlins! The wipers stop wiping when I pull the screen wash stick towards me, and when I press it down to the slow intermission setting (mist?), they do nothing at all. So to wash and wipe the screen i ...

Just like you said it would be! So I'll holler at my dealership and ask them nicely to sort me out with a fresh sensor...BTW, any ...

nrtnm, cheers for your advice, but how do I run vag-com? Will it only be dealers who have it? Is that what the socket behind my ashtray is meant for? Are a bunch of other faults that I didn's know about likely to present themselves? I'm in an awesome strange new world, stepped up from a Yaris which ...

Faulty coolant temperature sensor eh? Cheers J-GTi, I'll rock and roll over to the stealership on monday to get one. You're pretty sure that's the thing right? And how do I go about doing the old 'switcheroo' with the old sensor for new?

This forum is such an awesome resouce!

Cheers guys, go-team ...

Hi guys, I've got ANOTHER question about my GTi's air con (not climatronic). I've got three knobs (but shhhhh, dont tell anyone...) but seriously, three knobs: temperature, fan power and air direction. At the moment, none of these are illuminated when I turn the lights on...is this correct? Or do ...

Anyway, the GTi is an early model with AC but not climate control, does anyone know if its possible to simply swap the units located in the cabin (if I managed to source one ...
