D4 auto wipers sensitivity - not wiper enough

Have just upgraded my D3 to a 2012 D4 SDV and having issues with the auto wipers.

My D3 auto wipers were great when I got it and never had an issue with their ability to sense rain droplets. They only took a turn for a worse after a new screen was fitted.

My New D4 has an original LR screen which looks original to the car but the wiper sensitivity is well.. Pants. They only really work in heavy rain and often leave a screen full of rain when the rain stops even when they're turned up to max.

Aren't they susposed to be improved on the D4, can they be calibrated?

I've fitted new wiper blades, little effect

The sensitivity can be adjusted by the turning the wiper stalk. If this is not enough the sensitivity can be adjusted in the CCF. I'm not sure if a dealer tool can tweak the CCF setting or not, but the IID and others can.

Hi Keith,

Where do you find it on the Iid tool? Does the non BT version have it?
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

You can do a lot with the IID Tool, but obviously, you can only enable the features that you have the hardware for! For instance, I enabled the Remote Timed Climate on mine, but I had to fit the aerial and receiver first Wink

No good I'll have to upgrade to the BT version!

Was that a 'resistance is futile' moment?
