    Front wiper motor

    Does anyone have a known good wiper motor?

    Mine works but it seems quite slow?

    I'm happy to strip it down and re-grease the 'gearbox' in it and the linkages but I'd rather have a replacement incase I screw something up.

    Last one I took apart was on the rear of a mk4 vw golf about 10years ago ha ha

    I had this issue about 8 years ago. The problem was not the motor, but the linkage. The part where each wiper connects to (where you attach hem.The centre shaft rotates inside a cylinder.
    I drilled a 2mm hole in the casing and used WD40 and then some general oil, it freed it up and they have been fine since.
    It's worth a check.
    Best way to check is to disconnect the motor and see if it runs faster when not connected.
    Updating Soon!! 1998 Legnum VR4, fully serviced every 4500 miles. Fully Amsoil'd. Falken 453's, EVO 8 FQ320 rear diff.
