Wiper Question

[wazzadj]

Hi Guys , i have a MK4 with the anoying no intermitent wiper delay for my windscreen wiper just the old 2 speed
I really would like a delay on the wipers
DID the next model ever come out with them MK5 and are they interchable on the stalk i all so noticed my indicators dont cancel on the stalk after you have completed the turn
So maybe if i can change the whole assembly to the next model would be awesome

your help appreciated

cheers

On my Mk3 the stalk goes down for intermittent wipe then up for each of the 2 constant wiper speeds. I'd assume the mk4 would be the same. And it usually self cancels.

Thanks Islander
strange mine does go down for intermitent but doesnt lock in just springs back to normal so maybe its stuffed all this time and i need to get a new assembly stork
anyone else wish to confirm this finding ??

The down sweep is just for a single wipe, not intermittent I don't remember my Mk5 having intermittent either, Ford have been a bit slow fitting this feature to Transits, considering that it was fitted to my '79 Escort

thanks alltrans
looks like i will fashion up a wiper dwell kit of my own
just another thing to do on my never ending list of transit enjoyment

Both my Mk5s, V and W reg, have intermittent wipe, the lever locks down. Try holding it down for a couple of mins and see if it works.

I never knew that, so maybe mine did have intermittent

Any mk 2 tinfronts that I seen had them but phase 2 plastic grilles hadn't .Progress Al ,instead of improving Ford were getting better

stalk stays as was, kit has own switch...

My Mk5 has got intermittent wipe ... It's a '98, maybe they fitted it in later ones?

I had a after market one fitted to my mk3 it looked like a standard relay but Han had a control knob on the opposite end to the terminals it was mounted thro the dash with the controll knob end and came with a wireing kit I had that fitted to two mk 3s good bit of kit wide range of adjustment
