Early MK2 front wiper - LHD?
« on: 22 February 2008, 18:19 »
I've got an early MK2, and my front wiper has completely fallen apart - I need the whole lot. What other models can I get it from - is it the same as the ordinary 90 spec wiper and if so, does anyone in/near Glasgow have one spare I could borrow?

Didn't you have a single wiper conversion?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

...by single wiper conversion do you mean they broke, and I managed to salvage one wiper from the available parts, and I drove round with it like that for months until my MOT - if so, then yes.

Otherwise, my wiper mech broke ages ago and I was happy to drive with just a drivers side wiper, but I need a full window sweep to be able to get an MOT.

After a quick blast on eBay it looks like the MK3 Golf wiper won't fit, I hate being in damn Scotland, no scrappie has MK2s!
