This is most apparent when I'm giving the screen a quick squirt to clean off bugs, etc.

It's great to be able to use the forum to seek reassurance that other people's cars have the same quirks!

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Have noticed when operating the windscreen wipers, when I pull the stalk toward me to operate the windscreen washers, the wipers momentarily freeze. They resume once the stalk is released. This is most apparent when I'm giving the screen a quick squirt to clean off bugs, etc. If I need to give the windscreen an additional blast of water, the wipers freeze / hesitate momentarily. Is this normal operation?

POST 2Original post

It what my 2000 model 996 does too. Seems a bit odd. What I do is put the wipers on normal (up one position) and then spray, then it doesn't pause.

POST 3Original post

Mine does the same. I find it useful as you can stop the blades to get the water on the screen in the right place without it being wiped straight off, i.e. between the blades when they are rising.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Diesel / Richard, thanks. Mine's also a 2000. I did suspect that it was normal, but it struck me as a bit odd none the less. It's great to be able to use the forum to seek reassurance that other people's cars have the same quirks! Neil.

POST 5Original post

My MY'02 does it too - so it's not a fault, it's a feature [ ]

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ah, " They All Do That Sir "...[ ] Not come across that (acronym) before! Thanks.

POST 8Original post

Pretty usual acronym amongst Lotus owners [ ] (and, no, I'm not having a go at Lotus - would definitely have another one)

POST 9Original post

Guess what I discovered whilst trying to wipe off flies on the Autobahn yesterday ... the wiper actually has two positions to spray! pull stalk back a bit and it washes and wipers freeze in position (as discussed above), pull a bit further and it sprays and wipes at the same time. Always something new to learn with these cars !!
