After getting my MAF replaced, polybushes fitted, wheel alighnment, and being a few hundred quid lighter, its time to sort out my dreaded front wipers which have been p*$$ing me off for a while :grin:
Basically its the motor/linkages, but i may have another problem.
The wipers froze halfway up the windscreen so usually i have to hold the wiper stalk down and manually pull/push the wipers back down to the starting position.
The only problem now is one of the wiper arms feel loose, they dont sit flat properly - 1 of them is slightly higher on the window, and when i turn them on they criss cross eachother ( X ) instead of staying paralell ( / / )
F***ED :rolleyes:
Do you think ive done more damage than just the motor/linkages i.e new wipers needed aswell?
:embarassed:

If they are crossing over the wiper arm might have spun on its tapered/knurled fitting at the linkage. Might get away with fitting it on a new mechanism, ie really wrench it up! :grin:
You got the linkage yet? Get it sorted fella, with them flapping about like this you are at risk of scratching your windscreen and without wipers kinda illegal too.... :undecided:

I havnt got the replacement parts yet, i am a bit strapped for cash til next week maybe but i will try and borrow sooner if i have too. im gonna goto the local scrappie and see if theres any golfs there i can get the parts off. if not ill have to use ebay and that will take a few days.
The weathers been kind and looks like theres a few more days of sun left yet (fingers crossed) , and im not gonna drive in the rain with no wipers i'll tell you that for free ( put your money away :grin: )
