I realised today that my Furby has a smart rear wiper... when front wipers are on, but rear wiper is not, you put the car in reverse and the rear wiper goes once to clear your view, very cool...

Is this a feature on all furbys (vRS)?

My mums 1.4mpi does that aswell

Yup its a neat feature isnt it. Also if you have a diesel it operates the air recirculation flap so you dont choke on your own smog

That explains a lot of things-I thought there was a fault on both my cars. Anybody know how to change the rear wipers without breaking anything?

i've noticed this comes on in my furby and thats a petrol.

Clever cars

wow almost a year ago since I posted in this thread!

Wondered what made it come on every now and again!

Does the little light next to the Aircon one go on for you lot then? It doesnt for me, so I dont know if its working how it should or not :confused:

It doesnt operate the light when the flap closes.

mine does.... do i have a problem then?

Blimey, even the rover 200s / 25s have this feature

The Renault megane im about to trade in for my Fabia 1.9 TDi estate has this feature and also when stopping at junctions when the wipers are on the go to 1 speed slower.....

So THAT'S whats going on...

I was getting confused!

only had mine 2 weeks now and i like the way the rear wiper does this.

and the one extra sweep the front wipers do after a wash and wipe.

800 miles so far....

Yeah, it's the little touches that make the car what it is

SWMBO's Polo has the same feature too - possibly a VAG feature across the fabia/Polo/Ibiza range?

On the Ibiza the aircon light switches to recirculate when you reverse. The Furby does the same but doesn't change the light - I'd have assumed they were the same.

never knew the air con did that, also the one touch indicators on newer models, i dont have that being a 2000 one:( but i do have a new 04 trim!!

lost ths side pockets on the seats tho:(

Except my 04 vRS doesn't have the extra wipe at the front.. boo. Can this be altered by VAG?

Pretty sure it's only a feature of the latest ECU..... the extra wipe is overrated imho

I agree, but only cause I dont have it!
