After a conversation with ch1z64 he suggested that I post my plea for help here. I purchased the car about 2 month ago and I am very contented with it. The car (according to the dealer who did the timing belt last month)) is an 01/09/2006 A3 T Fsi S Line Special Edition Hatchback 2.0 Automatic Petrol. My problem is that nobody so far including the previous owner who had it for 5 years nor the garage could tell me what the UWO is for. The only thing the garage said was that it must have been retro fitted. ch1z64 suggested that I upload some pics of the light switch and wiper switch and I therefore through myself at your mercy. Please ask for any further info if required to solve my problem. kind regards from a frustrated Newbie. IMG 20200115 151457 IMG 20200115 152105 IMG 20200115 152127

Picture 1 looks like a sensor for auto headlights...do your headlights come on when it gets dark?

Don't know if the headlight switch is aftermarket?

The bar on the stalk between the wiper'symbols' is for adjusting the frequency of the intermittent wiper setting?
 
Looks like it could be an active windscreen aerial ,does it have an aftermarket radio .?
 
Sorry for not being up to speed but I do require someone to help me with these tasks. My friend is coming over next week to help me remove the front interior lamp cluster to see if the wires go to there. This little pic should explain why I am dependent on his mobility in small spaces. Kind
