please retype in plain english!

...just out of interest, if you blip the rear wiper stalk, does it stop? (the operation of it it that when you wash it it'll stay on till you turn it off, at least thats how it is with mine!).

other option, remove the related fuse!

It could be the wiper relay. Is there anyone close to you with a rocco or even a Mk2 golf you can swap and test?
