Automatic Wipers

First question:

When I turn off the engine with Automatic Wipers turned on, I have to turn Automatic Wipers off and then on again the next time I turn the engine on in order to get Automatic Wipers enabled.

Can this be fixed in any way ?

Second question:

When I go by abount 130 km/h (80 mph) the steering wheel vibrates a bit. Is this to be expected ?

I think I can answer the second one.

You might need to get your wheels balanced as if they are out this will cause the vibrations.

Hi mbmbeers!
Welcome to the forums!

The way I get around the autp-wiper problem, is leave the stalk in the auto position at all times, and when it rains/i want the auto wipers switched on, i pull the stalk briefly towards me (as if I'm going to wash the windows). This switches back on the auto-wipers.

Thanks Craig - I hadn't noticed that. So at least the two superflous stalk operations have been reduced to one.

I will have the wheels balanced when I reach 6000 km - my first (free :-)) serivce stop.

no, you need to get your wheels balanced...

it could even be your tracking. If this is out you will end up having to buy new tyres if you dont get it fixed quick enough.
