Normal intermittent? Mine doesn't have normal intermittent - the gap between the wipes varies depending how hard it's raining.
(Mine could be broken though!)

Thats auto wiping gets faster as it more rain/water hits the sensor

But then it really scrapes the windscreen if it's dry and sunny!

I'd suggest a broken sensor or wire or the sensor isn't seated right on the window.

My car was working on slow intermittent until I changed the sensor. Rain sensing is really good!
