Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Deactivating APP function of wiper motor
| The windscreen wiper system is equipped with an APP function
(alternating park position). |
| With the APP function, the wiper is moved up slightly once
it has reached the lowest position. This occurs every second
time the wiper system is switched off. |
| To fit the motor crank on the wiper motor, it is necessary
for the motor to be in the lowest park position. To ensure this
position is reached, the APP function must be deactivated. |
 Note
| The APP function cannot be activated. |
| After 100 cycles of wiper movement, the APP function is
activated automatically. This applies to wiper motors on which
the APP function has been deactivated and also to new wiper
motors. |
