F11 Windscreen Wipers - Abnormally Slow?

zrile · 10-03-2023, 03:05 PM

Hey guys! Tried searching, but i could not find answer.... i got my F10 2016, 2.0d B47 engine. Car is great, from first owner(import from germany to croatia) 153.000 km. Today i was messing around car and touched wipers. I pushed wipers by hand all the way up with no force, and put them back again with no force. While car is running, wipers work normal. Is this normal?

So... are you worried that the wipers are working normal? as they should?

You can set the wipers to auto by pressing into the stalk.

Yes. That is the "maintenance mode" for when you need to replace the wiper blades.

Do you mean the wiper arm or the stalk inside the car?

I am talking about wiper arm outside on windshield. Tried again today and ot was not possible, they were locked. Maybe there is some delay time when it is possible to retract them by hand?

Yeah, there is. I remember reading how to "unlock" the arm in the OM, but the procedure escapes me.
