Auto Wipers, can i have them coded/turned off?

OK, if you disable the rain sensor, flicking the stalk up 1 notch does one wipe and that's it. Booooooo!

Well that's crap. But hats off for having a go for us!

I'd rather use the intermittent wiper function with the variable rocker switch but it keeps being overridden by the auto sensor, is there a way to code the auto wipers off?
Cheers,

This functions an idiot :doh: they work when it's barely raining and don't work when it rains or work as high speed when it's just a light speckle

No worries. I was hopeful, but kind of suspected it wouldn't be that simple!
I can only guess the controller in the wiper motor is expecting a signal from the rain sensor, therefore I think the only way to do it would be to fit a wiper motor from a non-rain sensing car. A 1.6 base model or something. But I really can't see VW going to the trouble and expense of different motor modules for different cars. They love their generic stuff!
Facian:
Ah that's unfortunate! I imagine it must be in the code somewhere else as like you say they likely wouldn't bother with a different wiper motor if they didn't even bother changing the stalk.
