    Had the same on my golf the bonnet locks all rust up. I took my grill of took the 3 bolts off t25 I think then slid the lock out and hooked the cable and jet washed it out and greesed it up it's ok for now but I know it will go again you can pick them up for £30. As for your wipers they will work when you get up to 10mph.

    Wipers don't work period if your bonnet latch doesn't lock and complete the sensor circuit. Neither does the washer motor.

    Spring part at bottom of the latch is jammed is my hunch.

    Wipers will work once you start driving

    My bonnet wouldn't close either just last spring.

    Ended up taking out the locking mechanism to give it a clean.

    Works fine now
