Title: golf mkv 'interesting features ..
Post by: john_o on June 07, 2009, 12:51:08 pm

found some info on the edition 30 vs std GTI for the FAQ section , Ive owned my car for nearly two years and wondered why every now and again the wipers 'jumped' when I turned the ignition off..

Interesting features on the MKV Golf

Front wipers change position every time you switch off the car to avoid having the blades leaning in the one direction all the time and extending their life. There are 4 positions that they park in.

well I'll be darned  :happy2:

Yup... and did you know that they go further down when driving ( helps aerodynamics ) if blades are further under the bonnet away from the front coming wind.

Its odd that you have just mentioned that because my girlfriend pointed out to me that my wipers moved this morning when driving and i thought she was talking rubbish  :grin:
