I have the 99 learning relay in the 3.2 and traditional dial setup in 2.2.

I prefer, by miles the 2.2  - I find the 3.2 fine on first set. It's re-adjuating it in changeable conditions, I find the 2.2 far better with the dial for a quick change. Rather than cancel, flick, count and set. Just adjust the dial

Where as the standard rain sending wipers. One click, job jobbed.

But we all know the original variable intermittent wipe system is far better than the schoolboy first attempt GM slapped on the later Omegas....

The fixed delay intermittent wipe fitted to my 1994 CD was more useful than the random wipe (optimistically called "rain sensitive") fitted to my 2003 Elite 

Ah but that's where your all completely and utterly wrong, because, you haven't cleaned your screen properly. Behaves perfectly, just does. Accepte it, deal with it, and move on. But remember...


....clean your screen. Especially where the sensor is. Obviously.

Nope, we all know you are completely and utterly wrong. The system fitted to later Elites is poor. Almost like it was an early prototype to learn from for later cars.

I find rain-x and intermittent,adequate.

[Nick W]

This applies to all cars, not just Omegas: clean the screen thoroughly; replace the wiper blades(and arms if you have any doubts) and Rain-X the screen. This works.


I do wish the intermittent wipe could be adjusted for a longer delay though.

See, from posts above, lazy bloody admin again. CLEAN THE DAMN SCREEN.

And by clean I don't mean waft a rag over it, I mean clean until a clean cloth comes off clean with no marks on the cloth itself with a proper glass cleaner. Also be weary of machine washes and Hungarivanians magic cleaning potions. They leave residue the sensor sees and tries to wipe off.

If honest with ones self, you'll see said residue on the screen anyway. WONT YOU JAMIE

[chrisgixer]

...and ghost do you know anyway, you don't even drive the bloody thing.

[The Sheriff]

Rain sensing wipers, on all cars, are useless and a waste of time.......in my opinion, of course.

Clean the screen properly, not just a quick wipe, and they may work....for a while.
On the other hand, with normal wipers, your screen will clean itself with rainwater...seemples.




Bidet or bogroll? 

[chrisgixer]

They will work fine, if no residue applied from elsewhere. Another lazy arse talking.


...although her golf auto wipers where poor at best.

Not lazy at all. Rain sensing wipers are supposed to be a driver aid, a convenience, superior to actually having to fart around with a stalk/switch. Not much use if you have to clean your windscreen thoroughly to make them work properly. Easier to use the switch and let the wipers clean your screen.

My thoughts exactly.

[chrisgixer]

Rubbish. You look through the screen right? Or drive via a Tomtom so don't need to look out.

If your auto wipers don't work as desired, your screens dirty. Prudent to clean it I'd say

[The Sheriff]

Yes. You are right, everyone else is wrong..talking rubbish.

What's it like in your bubble...warm and cosy? As long as the idiots can't get in.

Absolutely. Glad your finally undystandying. Now go clean your windscreen (sigh...)

[Andy H]

I use the wipers and screenwash to keep the screen clean in normal conditions. If a pterodactyl craps on it then I clean that off.

My auto wipers work fine in daylight and real rain, they are just useless in poor light and mist/drizzle, borderline dangerous in fact because the screen is too dry to leave the wipers scratching away at the screen but they refuse to wipe the fine mist off the screen making vision near impossible with oncoming headlights. Intermittent wipe would be really useful however.

Bugger, another STMO post I agree with
