Touareg :: Wipers Gone Out Of Control
Nov 15, 2006
Wipers on my 07 are out of control....fast with drizzle, slow with rain, stop all together when car stops regardless of rain or not, slow down, speed up. No pattern to what they do. Intermittent does not exist. Anyway, I think I saw a posting about this and now I can't find it. I want to go in with the TSB so I can get in & out without proving my case. Taking it in for service in the AM because the 'hood ajar' warning went on at 75mph today and now has the display locked with the warning and the hood seems all OK.

2000 Rodeo, wipers work when on, no intermittent control. They just stop where ever they are if you swtich to intermittent control. I've heard this is a module above the glove box that costs about $200. Is it parts on the board in the module that fail so the module has to be replaced, or can I open the module, resolder grounds etc and restore operation? If not, anywhere less expensive than the dealer to get a replacement module?

I replaced my wipers and it was working fine for the first two weeks. Now it seems to wipe with some resistance. It doesn't have a smooth motion going up and down. I really can't explain it perfectly what wrong, but when the wipers go up it's like something is blocking the lower part of the blade from having a smooth motion.

I pretty sure they are supposed to do this but when I started the car this morning, in the garage with a dry windshield, the wipers ran twice and stopped. The wiper switch was in the on position from my drive home the evening before. 2004 V8 ....

Having problem adjusting the rain sensing wipers? They're either going too fast or they won't stop when the windshield is dry and not getting wet. I hate these rain sensing wipers. My Audi A4 has several adjustments in the intermittent mode and it works great. Why VW couldn't stick with that I'll never know.

I just bought a used 2004 Touareg. I think I got a great deal.
I have noticed the noisy windshield wipers, the condensation on the windshield, minor binding problems when turning, and some hesitation/jumpiness in the throttle. I talked to a dealer today and they said if I had a list of things to fix, they could do it in a day.

My front wipers have quit and have seen a similar thread a while ago indicating that this is something others have encountered. This happened once before about a month ago, and they started up again a few days later. So I don't think it is the motor. The back ones work, the fluid works, but no fronts.

Just got my Touareg a little over a week ago and used the wipers for the first time today and noticed that they make a rather loud noise everytime they wipe the windshield (I believe the driver-side blade is making most of the noise). It's hard to describe the noise but it's probably the most annoying. It seems to be loudest when it's drizzling or misting and the wipers engage (triggered by the auto-sensor). How to to resolve it?

One area we have been disappointed with is the lack of sufficient tension on the windscreen wipers. The local dealer broke the plastic replacing the blade which did nothing to correct the problem. The rear wiper is just as bad, leaving a large area never swiped. The driver side blade leaves a large half bubble shaped area un-wiped in front of the driver.

Every time my wipers go they chatter or bounce on the glass as they go across. Even when there is a TON of water on the windshield it will still do this... though not as much. It seems to happen more at the bottom of the wiper.
I don't know if it is a design flaw with the wipers, if I just have a bad set of blades, or what could cause it. In the past with other cars I have only had this problem when I tried to wipe dry glass.

I had my R for 6 years now and the electrical system is starting to go bad. Out of nowhere, my headlights, wipers, ac control, horn, and turning signals just stopped working. At least my radio works.

I've had problems with "phantom" or "ghost" wipers on my 1998 Dodge Caravan for the last few years. They come on at random, whether the switch is engaged or not, and stay on for random times, sometimes continuously. No manipulation in the multifunction switch changes the operation. They just come on and go off as they please. Furthermore, the climate control blower will often act up, not coming on right away, sometimes taking several minutes of driving before it starts blowing. I've also noticed a very occasional problem with the instrument panel not functioning and then later starting to work again. I've seen a lot about the BCM being the problem, but it would seem like if the BCM was malfunctioning it wouldn't ever work right. This FEELS like a grounding or wiring damage issue.

Everything was going good on my V8 until this week. Out of nowhere, the following happened all at once:
1. Display shows the hood as open, even though it is not.
2. Wipers work only when they want to
Also, cover to ash tray/lighter in center console popped off its tracks.
How to deal with this stuff on my own, or am I headed to service?

Turn wipers on and motor growls but wipers do not move, checked 30 amp fuse and it is good, all other functions of the multifunction switch are good.

My 2005 V8 Touareg has developed a squeal from the fan motor. I've searched but not found anything else on the forums. When you turn the fan on, you hear the squeal. Turn fan off, it goes away. Change fan speed, squeal changes.
I'm out of warranty now, so I'm hoping to fix this myself...I suspect it *might* be a simple solution like lubricating the motor axle. How to get to the AC fan motor? Is this easy to find in a service manual?

I didn't feel like putting my foot on the throttle. turned on and set the cruise control at 60mph. and 5 mins later, the car slows down. i look down at the speedo and my speed is dropping.... THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WENT OFF!
so I turned it back on again... set my speed. this time it stayed on for 30 seconds. turned it back on. And it shuts right off. Then I had to exit the highway. flicked the right signal... (i was expecting 3 blinks) blink pause pause pause pause half-blink.
I hit it again. this time I turned ON the right blinker. blink pause blink pause blink. I know it's late and all... I'm pretty tired myself. but the Touareg can't be tired and lazy like me! what's going on?
on top of that, earlier tonight, I hit a pothole and my left xenon went out. i thought the housing popped out, I stopped at a gas station popped the headlight back in. xenon still dead (every other bulb is still on) i thought to myself: "great. the bulb died. now I have to go home and get my old xenon bulbs" went home. swapped the xenon bulb to my old one. popped the headlight housing back in. STILL DEAD. WHAT'S GOING ON? I'm approaching 10k and my car is dying on me.

no i am not hitting the brake.
it works intermittently.
i would turn it on, set my speed and the cruise control light would go off.
sometimes cruise will be on for 5 mins... sometimes only a few seconds.

My vehicle shows currently two awkward behaviors:
1) I can start the vehicle using the keyless start button without having to step on the brake pedal.
2) I can switch on cruise control. The green symbol appears, however, I cannot set a speed. The system simply seems to ignore that I press the set button.
