But For How Long??
For quite a few months, the rear-wiper on my Octavia estate has been non-functional
Granted it's worked on a few really hot days last summer (not when you need it!)
My trusted (long-term) garage agrees with me, that it's the wiring, as the hot-weather working points towards a micro-fracture in a wire
However, as it's not a legally required (or MoT tested item) I've not bothered - to save stripping out the interior trim to check the loom
BUT
This afternoon, as I started it up after work (had to go in it, as I slept in), it swept...
I must have caught the control stalk putting the 'Disk-Lok' on?
Whether it will continue working, is another matter entirely!!
Had I just caught the stalk, at the 'right angle', or is it purely coincidental, that it worked?
