Hi Guys,
Recently got a C3 1.6 HDI Exclusive on a 07 Plate. The problem I have noticed is the rear wiper and wash seem's to have a mind of their own. For NO reason the rear wash will start pumping like mad and the wiper starts wiping. Has anyone else had a similar fault like this?? They stay on for around 10 seconds and then stop.
Any help greatly received.
Thanks.
