Hey everyone. Ive been searching for answers on this but cant seem to find any, so I figured Id just post it here. I was wondering if there was a way to change the amount of swipes the wipers make when you activate the windshield sprayers. They swipe like one extra time than whats needed which causes streaking on the glass. If they swiped twice instead of three times that would probably be ideal. Is there a way to adjust this with VCDS / OBD11? Thanks for your inputs.

gtiguy: This is a total guess, but there is an adaptation channel in the Central electrics module @ address hex09 with the title Windshield wiper-Anzahl Betaetigungen Frontwaschanlage pro SRA Aktivierung that looks very interesting and appropriate to your question. My German language skills are terrible, but web translates the descriptor to Windshield wiper - number of activities front car wash per SRA activation (SRA is the abbreviation that VW uses for windscreen washing) so it looks like it might be worth trying.
Give it a go and tell us what happens!!

I tried a few different values, 50, 100, 200, 255....none of them made any change at all. The wipers still swiped like 3-4 times after pulling the stick. One thing I noticed was that entire "windshield wiper" section was either set to 0 or n/a. Im wondering if the MK7 doesnt use any of those parameters and its getting the programming from somewhere else.

Gtiguy i think you missunderstood what these settings are doing. These settings are change how often you have to use windshield washer before headlight washer (sra) come up again. Means, when sra come up you have to use windshield washer 5 times (or what setting is) before sra come up again. It changes not how often goes wiper from left to right when using washer. This is my understood from these setting.
