Title: Wipers Slow?
Post by: Col5632 on 31 May 2012, 12:19
I have read that the mech seizes up and eventually if left the motor goes also, is there a guide on how to check if its seized and how to check motor works correctly etc?

I've never read of a motor going but the linkages are a common one as you are aware.

Oh and as it happens, I've got a few month old linkage (new from VW) attached to my used motor for same! Drop me a pm if you're interested.

Yep is usually the linkage goes first then the motor, if its going slow already i would say the linkage needs doing now.

It's strange because sometimes it goes mega slow and then others it kinda goes back to normal  :laugh:

Yea, mine were like that when it went.... One day you'll try to use them and they'll come on then totally seize.... Get a new linkage ASAP.....
