Auto wipers - Josh_Quant - 29-10-2015
Does anyone know if you can switch auto wipers off..?

If you unplug the sensor on the windscreen it will revert to intermittent wipe i believe.

the stalk on the right hand side on the steering wheel turns the wipers off

Nope. It doesn't work

They are a good feature, but just work slightly to poorly to be 'great' too random, too short an interval on them most of the time.

The worst part about 306 auto wipers is that you have to turn them on everytime you start the car...that's not how automatic works...
I really missed auto-wipers using the Volvo for a week! Intermittent was always either too slow so you couldn't see anything between wipes but constant was too fast OR they were too fast in light rain and screeching across a fairly dry screen. Not to mention not giving a 'mental' swipe when a lorry sprays over you from the opposite direction. Though the Volvo stalk works upside down as well so I could never get the right setting first time anyway. Honestly it wound me right up!

imho, it's just an auto-adjusting optical speed sensor.
My dad's Maestro has an adjuster in the stalk.

On my old ph.2 the autowipers were fantastic. That doesn't seem to be everyone's experience though.

Phase 2 auto wipers are pretty good. Maybe not as great as some more modern where you can adjust the sensitivity. But definitely a feature I like on my car.

You just leave the stalk on auto all the time? Shouldn't need to turn on/off ever if you're happy with them.
