uh oh, problems already :( windscreen wipers

[Dempsey]

hey guys, i have a problem with my windscreen wipers.
when i put them on, they are very slow on the way up, and sometimes stop on the way down.
is this the wiper motor? will it be easy to replace? and will it cost much?
anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like the motor you can pick them up 2nd hand for £40 (ish) easy to change, could be the wiper stalk but my money is on the motor.

99% will be the linkage - very common. Might be able to unseize it if not may need a new one -IIRC cost 38 from VW.
