Hi folks. I have a recently bought Bravo 1.6 HLX which since purchase has caused me no end of problems. About 4 days ago the wipers developed a fault - the flick wipe stops as soon as you release it (ie in the middle of the windscreen) and the other settings all work at the same speed - it's either on (fast) or off.

I've been told that the problem is most likely the relay in the wiper motor, does this sound likely?

This morning the engine management warning light also came on. Is it possible that this is related to the wiper problem? I really hope it is because otherwise I have to go and pick a fight with the garage I bought it from... I've only had it 3 weeks and it's needed new pads, discs, bonnet release catch and a headlamp bulb and now this lot. I was told by a friend after buying the car that Fiat stood for Fix It Again Tomorrow but I thought that was a joke :/

Hi

dont know if its same type of ecu, but I had same problems with wipers on my dobbie, and when the ecu was changed as it decided I only needed to use two cylinders the wiper fault was cured as well.

the original post is 18 months old.

ecu has nothing to do with wipers at all so replacing the ecu cant fix a wiper fault, it must have been a coincidence.
