I live in Nova Scotia, Canada where we have a winter (salt on roads) and I have to use the wiper spray quite a bit. When I just spray, it wipes 3X and then 5 seconds later, it wipes again - almost always ruining the nice jobs the 3 wipes did.
Does anyone know of codes to get rid of the "courtesy wipe"?
I am assuming that there is some setting since this would all be regulated by the computer.
Thanks for any help.

Answer is that it can be done.

They call the "courtesy wipe" the teardrop.
This article has SO much cool stuff for VAG customizations.
Love it.

I live in Vancouver and i get the same thing. I hate the 5 sec after wipe makes me go though washer fluid like crazy.

the lovely thing is the tear drop long coding undoes itself randomly.
It's back.

Mine never did that. My rear one does, though. Who cares?

I went to the dealer to have them turn it off. They said it cant be turned off. They only reset it and after 100KM it will be back again.

I found the wiper coding. Strange that VW uses a "drop down" menu choice to have only wiper related settings vs. using it in the main byte count of the 09 Cent settings. Subtracted the 2048 and now I'm all set. Thanks ! This GTI has a fine spray on the washer jets so the standard wipe of the wipers is fine and the tear drop sweep goes across an already dry/clean windshield.
