what did the rear wiper do ?
neg:
What it liked, just wiped one, then one and a half, stop where it wanted - completely bonkers. Needless to say when they replaced it the plastic cover on the boot lid was never put back properly - let them try twice and then gave up!

No major faults...
1. Ipod link was not activated when we bought the car... Was sorted when VW Sent out a techie to the house to activate it.
2. The Window software went a tad wonky. When you lock the car and come back after shopping etc the windows would be down by over 2 inches or sometimes completely down. This was solved by a software upgrade as the software was arguing with the windows in the CCM module.
Other than that she has had the headunit replaced because the sound from the Ipod apparently was poor (We noticed this ourselves but didnt bother) but when the car went in for its service my dad pulled in with the sound system blaring and the techie emmeditatly said something aint right. Sorted now and the sound is amazing I dont know how anyone can fault it.

What is a talk latch. :signIWS:

Tail gate latch, maybe? I think it might be the white worm issues on the VW logo on the rear hatch.
