Golf V R32 :: Wiper Did Two Quick Sweeps When Going On Highway At About 75


Mar 31, 2008

How sensitive is the sensor? I was on the highway going at about 75, when the wipers did two quick sweeps. Can insects set off the sensor? What's the best site for discount OEM parts and accessories?

Toyota - Hybrid-repair - Camryhybrid :: Stalled On Making Quick Start From A Light Followed By A Quick Stop

My year-old Camry hybrid stalled out last night. It was the second time this has happened. The first time, about a month ago, I made a quick start from a light, followed by a quick stop, both actions to avoid an accident. (I was about to get rear-ended and scooted into the intersection to give the guy closing in my mirror more room.) After the stop, the car had no power but it started up, no problem. Last night, I was about a minute into my trip, stopped at a light, and the power just died. Again, it started no problem.

This time I noticed that the radio went out. Not sure about the headlights. The emergency blinkers came on at the touch of the button before I restarted. In both cases, I stepped on the accelerator and got no power. Took it to the dealer and they couldn't replicate the problem, of course, and whatever interrogation they did of the systems found no faults. They had to be convinced that I knew the difference between an actual stall and just going from gas to electric. It's kind of disconcerting to just stall out in the middle of the street. And I'm concerned that this is a problem that could get worse -- probably just after the warranty lapses.

Golf/GTI VI :: How Sensitive Is A/C To Quick Recycling

I think this concern of mine stems from past trauma related to broken A/C's (in cars and homes) with expensive repairs, but did I shorten the life of my GTI's A/C by stalling the car shortly after start up, and then restarting it again (with the A/C on)? The A/C got cycled on, then off, then on again within a 10-20 second time span.

Golf/GTI VII :: Quick Upshifts / Slow Downshifts With Hesitation

Seems like the engine and transmission are talking through Google Translate. The usual problems: too quick upshifts, too slow downshifts, lugging and vibration at RPM too low for road speed around town, hesitation. Aware this all supposedly support mileage but it's putting a rough edge on an otherwise quiet and likeable car. In fact, mileage seems to be suffering a bit. Aware there's a TSB on the 6AT that supposedly cures this via a software update .

Golf/GTI VI :: 2011 - Engine Not Turning Over As Quick / Gas Is Delayed

So, I've noticed over the past few days my '11 GTI w/ DSG isn't turning over as quick but when it does I feel as though my gas is delayed. For instance, if I push the accelerator down I feel like It does nothing and then suddenly kicks in when the pedal is more than halfway pressed. Also noticed by the same token if I keep it floored I go way into the redline before it shifts. Almost pushing the 7k rpm line. I'm thinking it's either my starter is going bad for the turn over portion but then I feel like it's something to do with spark plugs for the delayed response.

Golf VI R :: Quick Scraping Sound When Takeoff From A Stop

When my car is cold... sitting 8 hours below freezing I've noticed until the car warms up I hear almost like a quick scraping sound when I take off from a stop or when shifting. It's almost like when the engine is put under load the movement causes something to shift and makes this noise. Any chance I have a loose mount or a portion of the exhaust could be shifting coming in contact with something?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Quick Shifter Linkage Adjustment (O2M Transmission)

So I just got 42dd shifter bushings and im having some issues!

Installation was no problem but once you complete the install you are supposed to re-adjust the linkage. First you have to lock the shifter in place, both in the cabin and in the engine bay (as shown in this Diesel Geek video: [URL] .... )

The only trouble I'm having is that i cannot locate the locking pin as shown in this integrated engineering picture: [URL] .....

Golf V R32 :: Quick Swish Sound As The Gear Engages When Shifting Up

I just picked up my R32 2 days ago and I notice that when it shifts up semi-aggressive (around 4.5 rpm) there is a quick swish sound as the gear engages. It sounds like it is coming from the muffler system, in the rear. What it is?

Golf/GTI VI :: Single Or Quick Double Pop Sound From Right Rear Area Occasionally

Just installed FK Streetlines..... So everything is very tight in the back, before putting weight on the suspension I went over all the bolts and everything is tight. But I occasionally get a single or quick double pop sound from the right rear area, I can almost feel it in my seat/floor. But it's not frequent and not on smooth or rough roads really I can't find a pattern. Usually turning left and a little side to side undulation... Maybe. I've checked over everything. Car has 500mi. Suspension has 50mi maybe..

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Wiper Skip When Used

My drivers side wiper on my 20th likes to skip when it's used. Started a few months ago. I had put on Bosch Icon style wipers (different brand though - they happened to be about half the price of the Bosch's at Autozone so I figured I'd give them a try). They worked great for a short time. I hit rain on a road trip home and no issues for the first few hours. Then they started skipping badly out of nowhere. Kept doing it over the course of the next few weeks off and on. I got annoyed and figured it was the cheap blades. Switched back to the Bosch Icons, which I've run on my car many times the last few years with no problems. Still having the skipping problem. Its not every time I use the wipers but its more often than not. I'd definitely like to get this sorted out soon...its making it tough/annoying to drive the car in the rain.

Golf/GTI VII :: Replacing Rear Wiper

Do the rear wiper arm of a new model Audi A3 can replace the 2015 GTI's? The GTI version leaves a bunch of the blade exposed and I would like a cleaner look with no exposed blade. I think the A3 may work and still have the same size wiper.

Golf IV R32 :: Rear Wiper Sprayer Never Worked

I bought the car with a polo wiper already installed and I'm totally fine with that because it looks a lot better. The thing is, the sprayer has never worked. I can hear it function when I use the lever for it but it doesn't shoot anything out. I took a pic and it looks like I'm missing something. If not, I guess I'll have to take it apart.

Golf/GTI VI :: Do Wiper Blades Twitch When Turning Car On Or Off?

Mine do. Its really weird especially if I haven't been using the wipers at all and I arrive somewhere, shut the car off, and the wiper blades twitch. Just curious to see if this is normal.

Golf IV R32 :: Spray Nozzle Moves Along With The Wiper Arm

I have the MK5 wiper arm on my hatch. Has worked flawlessly for years. Recently though the spray nozzle doesn't point up anymore. It moves (partially) along with the wiper arm and the juice isn't going where it needs to. Namely straight up!

Golf IV R32 :: Intermittent Wiper Speed Only Works On Low

The wiper-speed selector (aka: the little switch on the top of the right stalk) does not seem to influence the frequency in which the wiper activates on intermittent mode.

Lowest setting: 5 second interval
Highest setting: 5 second interval.

This is strange as it was working a week ago

Specifically any fuse for this function? Or is there a specific relay that takes care of this action?

Golf V R32 :: OEM Front Windshield Wiper Don't Squeak Properly

Found that OEM new wipers were not completely squeegee-ing the windshield. i.e. getting small patches of wet/unwiped areas. Seems like it's skimming some areas instead of actually wiping.

Golf/GTI VI :: Passenger Side Wiper Doesn't Work At All

I just picked up my new GTI a couple weeks ago and today is the first time using the wipers. The passenger side wiper doesn't work at all. I took a look at it and the wiper is different from the driver side. The wiper itself is cheap plastic with holes every inch. The connector to the wiper arm is purple. Could this be a "temporary" wiper that was installed during shipment and the dealer forgot to switch out?
