Windshield Wiper System
General information
The windshield wiper system is controlled by the Wiper Motor Control Module J400 which is integrated with Windshield Wiper Motor V .
To remove wiper blades, wiper arms must be set to "service/winter position" . The "service/winter position" is activated by operating windshield wiper lever in "touch sweep" position within 10 seconds after switching off ignition Owners Manual .
Note:
In order to prevent potential damage to wiper arms,
the windshield wipers will not function, or will cease functioning should the front hood be opened.

VAS 5051/5052 (VAS 5051 A version shown as example only)
Diagnostic cable VAS 5051/6A (or length
appropriate alternative)
Windshield wiper system is equipped with Alternating Park Position (APP) function).
Every other time the wipers are witched off, the APP function causes the wiper arms to move upward slightly from the lowest position, causing the wiper blade rubbers to "flip" or tilt in a manner that "alternates" from the
previous switch-off event.
APP function serves to increase wiper blade service life by alternating the wiper rubber contact angle at the windshield after use.
Page 3 / 15 Windshield Wiper System
In order to install the crank on the wiper motor in the proper position, it is necessary to shut off the motor in the lowest park position. This is done by deactivating the APP
function in the coding of Wiper Motor Control Module J400 .
Note:
Activating APP function is not possible.
APP function is automatically activated after 100
wiping cycles. This applies to wiper motors in which the APP function was deactivated as well as for new wiper motors.

Washer Hose Repair
General information
A concept has been developed to facilitate the repair of washer hoses.
Various individual hose connectors, adaptors, Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene (EPDM) rubber hoses and shrink tubing will be offered as replacement parts. Note:
For part numbers, see Parts Catalog.
Repair parts will be available for both smooth and
corrugated hoses.
Smooth hoses, repairing
Smooth hoses with a diameter of 5 x 1 mm or 6 x 1 mm can be repaired with a EPDM repair hose section. - Trim and remove damaged sections of hose.
- Choose matching EPDM repair hose - 2 - and cable ties from Parts Catalog
- Insert hose - 1 - and - 3 - into ends of EPDM repair hose - 2 - to a depth of at least 10 mm - 2 - .

- Secure with cable ties - 1 - as illustrated.
Corrugated hoses, repairing
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required Hot air gun VAS 1978/14 or
Hot air gun kit VAS 5179 as illustrated
Note:
Area to be repaired must not be under stress of
stretching or bending.
If damaged area is longer than 20 mm, a new
section of corrugated hose must be obtained, and two sets of adapters inserted using following the following procedure.
- Trim and remove damaged sections of hose.
