So, having just finished up fixing the ignition and lambda issues, as well as a new boot lock; the rear wiper has stopped working
Having taken it to bits, there's nothing obviously wrong, other than some worn brushes and the motor does work when given 12V, so I think it's just one of those things...

Mine never stops once you start it. I try not to use the damned thing. I think my current daily (Seat Leon) is the only car I have ever had whereby the rear wiper performs as it should.
Umm you probably knwo the old cleaner trick in the column??? I brought my avant and never got the rear wiper to work until i sprayed in some contact cleaner and wiggled the stalk around about 4 years later.... almost 2 years on it still works a treat. When my headlight stalk stopped workign for high beam earlier this year, the same trick solved that one too.
not saying yours is the same issue but it might be worth a try
Guarantee its the stalk that's at fault.. mine never worked until i cleaned all the contacts on the stalks.

Mine was the stalk, but also under the dash, a relay had a dicky connection, if it was fully pushed home it didn't work, but pull it out a bit and it's fine, has been for 10 months now, but still feels surreal that it works when I push the stalk
#289 I think was the relay, but start with contact cleaner in the stalk -mine was so dead it needed replacing though... £30 from Febi and it's OK quality wise

You do know that it works on a one push for on, another push for off basis? I didn't realise this until I'd had the coupe for at least a year!

Oh yes. I have had a few CQ's down the years that supposedly function in a similar way (when they want to)
All I get with my S2 is more water, another three wipes then rinse repeat ha ha. Drives me up the wall and is basically the only thing on the car that annoys me.
