I got an oil change at the required 10,000 miles mark and now the light is going off at 15k to get the oil changed (it even counted the number of miles I had left to the 15k mark). Does anyone know if the VW Rabbit's are programmed to go off every 5k instead of the 10k? Or does it simply mean that for some reason I've got dirty oil, etc. that needs to be changed? I'm new to VW and find it strange that the manual is contradicting what my car is telling me

I can't pull the windshield wipers away from the glass since the hood cowl blocks them. Any tips on how to clean under them easily and quickly when cleaning the windshield - about how to clean the edge of the wiper, keep grime off it? Never seen a car where you can't pull the wiper blade arms out to stand away from the windshield. Heck of a nice car though. And the 5 cylinder is very smooth on the '09. It was a little rough and growly when I test drove it first year of introduction. Now it's super nice.

Except that since the car is off, it will stop half way and you will be able to pull the wipers away from the windshield. This sort of works like the power windows, when you turn the car off, you can still roll the windows off, but once you open the doors or let enough time pass they won't go up. Same is for the most part true for the wipers. I hope I explained just well enough for you to figure it out.

Replying to: micweb (Jun 22, 2009 3:02 pm) It is really pathetic how little some in sales know about the cars they sell. IIRC, we were told about this as part of a standard delivery proceedure when we got ours in 2005. (we were also introduced to the owner's manual as a part of that  )
