is it possible on the VRS to get the needles to do a sweep at startup?

No I don't think so, only in a VCDS output test (computer diagnostics). If you can, or can find someone, to re-write the ECU code, then yes.

i`ve being searching for that for a while, no luck :(. but as someone stated you can always leave the wipers on, so they´ll sweep at the moment you turn the ignition
