Intermittent wipers
GTMac - April 18th, 2009 at 11:43 PM

Guys whats the best fix for this? Is there some contraption that I can adapt. Dont want anything big and bulky and of course hidden. Hoping to adapt to a spare hole in dash.

Getting sick of turning wipers on and off and am anal about keeping them on.

I put them in my 65 Orange Smoothie remind me next time i see u to show

Get the head section of a series 1 golf so you have the twin wipers n blinkers set up it might take a little stuff round to fit it ot the type 3 it will look stock and no extra holes i think the steering tube is the same as the late type 3

the wiper has the intermittent position which is to pull down plus 2 speeds

you also need the relay also when you pull back to activate the washer the wipers swing 3 times to clean the screen

talk to steve carter when hes back
he setup his yellow bug same as dave but also added varible dwell setup as well

my daily has this feature and it really makes a big difference over fixed intermittent

Dave,

Will this fit around a 1500 beetle steering column & shaft or do you need to install a later beetle shaft that has the same splines etc as does the MkI Golf?

Cheers
