Is it possible to retro-fit a pre-facelift(PFL) stalk with adjustable intermittent in-to a facelift(FL)?
Physically the only difference i can see is that the fly lead for the PFL has a 6-pin connector with 5 wired while the FL one has a 4-pin connector with 3 wired

My Facelift has intermittant wipers :-?

my collegues 06 Corsa C Van has intermittant wippers  

[Welung666]

I think Al is after the variable speed option on the intermitents

[BigAl]

Yes, My new mig is missing the variable intermittant option, but has the standard intermittant setting

[Mike Collins]

Yes it's possible, you have to arrange the variable resistor to be in series with the feed to the relay. If you have a wiring diagram you should be able to see the wire to interrupt.
I have, somewhere, some pictures of how I modified mine. I will try to find them tomorrow.

Cheers Mike, Most appreciated

erm a facelift cdx should have intermittant wipers!

unless...

Have you got rain sensors?  that would cause you not to have variable...

[BigAl]

I don't think i have rain sensors, what do they look like?
I assume i either don't have them  or they don't work as when on intermittant the speed does not change do matter how heavy the rainfall

Mine hasn't, not variable anyway, and have been looking to carry out this mod for some time now

If you let me have an email address I can send you some pictures, my 03 CDX did not have variable delay or rain sensor, despite the salesman's words.

You will need a circuit diagram to identify the pin in the wiper main connector that needs to be removed, then the variable resistor is wired in series with it.

I have not yet changed the relay so have a slightly limited range of delay timing.

Pm sent, also after help on this

Hope you have the time to reply, regards

I added the variable wipers to my 02 mv6 as part of a Sat nav/Bose upgrade. All it needed was one of wires to the exisiting wiper stalk cutting and then re-connecting to extra pair of wires on the new variable stalk.

I'll see if I can find my notes on what needs connecting to what. Think is was one of the black/yellow cables.

Cheers NickA, any help would be appreciated
