Rear Wiper Help?? Sorry Guys :(
« on: 17 November 2010, 16:46 »
Hi guys

I have recently bought my MK4 golf TDi 150 and now the rear wiper isnt working.  Any suggestions to check

Thanks in advance. I have tried the searches etc and its quite a common fault but not found a know/common fix

Cheers

Most likely the rear wiper has leaked and caused the motor to rust

Replacement wiper motor is probably the fix you'll need
