Windscreen Wipers going crazy by themself

Post by Rachel »

Good Morning My Name is Rachel I need some advise. I have never owned a Golf in my life before and have just purchased a 2000 Golf 1.4
That's about all I know of it.

The problem I have is that the wipers tend to start by themselves and as if you are trying to clean your windscreen just carrys on pumping all the water in the water bottle out through the windscreen nozzle. It seems as if this happens as soon as the car starts getting hot
heat guage reaches about 3/4
I have not replaced the thermostat yet and I am not sure if this is a feature on the golf or if something is crazy wrong as it wont switch off until it decides to do so itself. I have started to think that it is linked to the radiator fan somehow.
