My old Pug 106 had a rear wiper that was fully on or off and when i got my 05' Punto i expected to have an intermittent one, then i drove my brothers 01' Brava and his has one I was thinking maybe mine does too and the relay for it could be broken or something leading it to go continuously when turned on, Does anyone with a Mk2B Punto have an intermittent one?

I ask cos i don't see a lot of point having one that runs continuously unless i reverse in the rain but that seldom happens.

sorry, no you don't. it's either on, off or single wipe which uses the washer too. I tend to turn it on then off (rather than wash) if i just want a single wipe.

mystery solved so, thanks for that, i just flick it on and off too when needed, you'd wonder though why they would put the intermittent one on the Brava and not the 2B. ah well, doesn't matter that much anyway.

dunno, i guess it's all down to keeping costs down.

Does anyone know how to go about making it imtermittent?. . . i.e. just a case of swapping the reley?

you would probably need a new switch unless you wanted to replace constant with intermittant rather than having both.

i would have thought replacing the relay would work but can't be sure. you think you could swap it with the front wipers to see?

no thats wrong well it is on my mk2 sporting, i turn it on and it wipes maybe every 10/15 seconds. its never on all the time unless i have the front wipers on full.

that's odd,

my Y-reg mk2, 54 Plate 2b and 05 plate 2b all had either on or off with no intermittant regardless of what front wipers did.

Its the same with mine

my mk2 sporting y reg the back wiper has an inyermittant setting. all depends on how fast my front ones are one. i can get a vid if no ones bleves me lmfao

one twist of the stalk and it wipes every 10/15 seconds.

i don't believe you!

ok a vid will be uploaded 2mow lmfao im in work at the moment,

but its been like that since ive got the car in september last year.

this is interesting, gonna try it the next time it rains, which should be in about 10 mins with this 'summer' we are having.

i tested it with the front wipers on various settings just now on my way home and it doesn't affect the rear wiper at all.

well ive taken a vid!! il up load it to youtube in the moring when i get in to work i will also do the speed changeing thing as well....... i new my punto was on of a kind lol

there we go sorry about the quality think it looks ok (taken on my LG KU990)

lol. so is there still just one switch? just turn it once but the front wipers control the speed or something?

yea all i do is twist the rear wiper on and its away the fast i have the front wipers on the fast the rear one moves lol


Told you i was right

Thats strange that the punto seems to be going backwards in technology, did i mention i don't have power steering, airbags or ABS? only messing

did i tell you mine's a wheelbarrow with a fiat badge on? lol

bet you're screwing with us on that video and did it all manually! one wipe at a time!
