Hello everyone!

Got in me car this morning and the bastard window wipers werent working. Literally nothing works on the right paddle apart from the rear wiper button that clicks in ?!

Mode 1,2,3 or the front washer actions do NOT work :( anyone had this problem/know how much to get fixed ?

basically i'm really f****d if it rains.

Could be a number of things....

Check the fuses...

Check the relays...


And failing that... the switchgear might need replacing.... they are prone to fail on the polo 6N2 im afraid...

Sounds more like a fuse or relay than anything.

Sorry, I'm being lazy, but I really need to replace the wiper blades on my GTi... what spec are they? Does anyone recommend a particular brand/style? The Champion ones seem OK, but maybe Bosch are better?

So yeh... what sizes are the fronts and the rear, and what brand should I get?

Ta :)
