2 Answers
To lift the wiper of Golf 7, insert the key and turn it slightly to make the wiper move forward, then activate the wiper maintenance mode. Taking the 2021 Golf as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4296mm, width 1788mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2636mm and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. The 2021 Golf is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 85kW and a maximum torque of 200Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It features a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving a Golf 7 for many years and always lift the wipers before washing to prevent glass scratches or motor damage. The method is: turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine; immediately push the wiper lever to the wash position once; then turn off the key; the wipers will automatically stop in the service position; at this point gently manually flip up the wiper arms. The whole process should be steady and quick, avoid operation when battery power is low. After completion, clean the wiper blades and pivot areas, regularly check blade wear, and handle blade replacement accordingly. This maintenance extends service life, especially preventing winter freezing. Remember to operate on level ground, avoid brute force, and protect vehicle safety. In practice, I find the Golf 7's design quite user-friendly – beginners will get familiar after a few attempts.
