New lad with screwed Electrics! HELP

[pete86/2.0l16v 0]

Hi guys ive just bought myself a 1992 2L 16V and its a great car apart from a couple of problems which i hope you can help me with?

 

1. When i turn the lights on my windscreen wipers decide to come on full pelt and the only way to turn them off is to put the lights on high beam. Is this Common? Any ideas on how to fix?

 

2. The previous owner has lowered the car but got a bit carried away its sitting about 10mm off the ground at the front bumper! is there any suspension you would recomend? im looking for about a 40-60mm drop from standard.

 

Any info would be appretiated

 

Cheers

Hi and welcome to the forum...

 

I've never heard of your electrical fault happening before to be honest but would assume it's a fualty connection grounding out somewhere behind the dash - depending on how confident you are with electrics I'd say you either need to strip the dash back to find the fault or get a good auto electrician...

 

and secondly, there are loads of threads on here regarding suspension and I'm sure a quick search will answer your question ;)

 

EDIT: Read through this thread for suspension Q's and A's

I had some erratic wiper problems in teh past on my golf & it was caused by a faulty wiper stalk. They used to come on without touching the stalk at all & eventually refused to work. Replacing them with a set of Mk3 ones cured it

Mite be a possability but i was told the last lad that owned the car swapped them for mk 2 stalks and still had the same problem.

 

cheers for the info tho m8
