Hi just picked up new Tiguan last couple of days

Mine Is SEL no extras - love it

One question does SEL have auto wipers as standard ? I

Thanks in advance

Hi Igrim and welcome, yes, the SEL has auto wipers. To set them, push the right hand stalk up one notch to start, and vary the sensitivity with the slide switch on the top of the stalk.
Hope that helps.

Many thanks - I thought that's why I did today in rain but didn't work

Will try again tomorrow

I push my stalk up one to my set intermittent and it swipes faster as the rain gets heavier the slows down once the rain eases on my SEL....if that makes sense.

One thing to remember with the onset of winter is that it's quite possible for the frost to stick the wiper blades to the windscreen, so I make sure if I've used the auto wipers I will always switch them off afterwards. Otherwise they will try to move as soon as you switch the ignition on, and you can end up either damaging the blades, blowing a fuse or possibly damaging the motor.

Good tip Steve. Something I always forget to do.

One good thing about not getting up for work early, if it's that cold & frosty I stop in bed :lol: :lol: Retirement...can't beat it .....my new career

What I find with my 2015 Mk1 is that the autowipers don't actually start operating until you've started moving (similar to the door locking) I often find I'm wishing them to operate and have to flick the wash to clear the windscreen before moving out the drive. But yes, if it's freezing switch them off before driving off.

My boss thinks I've retired......bit odd that as I still work on average 60hrs a week !
Maybe he is blind or I really have retired and still turn up at work and do nothing ?!!
