Default I hate stupid problems. I just noticed that my wipers don't turn off unless I kill the ignition

if they are in mid-wipe and I turn the ignition back on, they'll just resume operation. I have to get them down before I turn the ignition off. The intermittent function doesn't work, the wipers just run at the low speed. Same for the push down, one wipe function. I didn't try the high speed function, in fear that I might get stuck with only that. I'll try it again at lunch time, but I'd have to guess the stalk would need replacing if it continues. Anybody else care to take a guess? Yes, I've searched.

Default Mine just started doing the same thing last night.

Just when I thought I had things under control. I vaged it this morning and it had an intermittent code. Luckily I have a spare wiper stalk. I'm hoping that's it.

the VAG-COM can pick up wiper codes? Do you have a trip computer?

Default nopers

I had a code there under instruments and thought it was related since it's the only damn thing not working right now.

Default no, next weekend. I don't want to waste good Mobil-1, so I'm doing it with my oil change

I go through oil quick enough to just wait it out.
