Hi all and thanks in advance for your replies.
Last week i purchased a 2019 vw polo 1.0 tsi.
While in the car park shopping it had rained but could not get the wipers to work with ignition off, ignition on and engine started.
I was worried a fuse was blown or worse but once i started driving forward they worked again.
Is this by design or a fault or setting? It seems mad i should have to drive forward a bit with limited screen view to activate the wipers?
The car has only 9000 miles on and came from dealership.
Kind regards Sam

I have the same model/year.
The wipers work fine with just ignition.

- first position is the rain sensitive / intermittent position
- second position is the slower of two continuous speeds
- third position is the faster of the two continuous speeds.
- a single flick wipe function; press down on the wiper stalk; the wipers will perform a single sweep and the wiper stalk will move back to the ‘off’ position.
- a switch on top of the wiper stalk to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensitive / intermittent setting.
