hi, could i ask a question ? we have had our 98 galaxy Gia 2.3 manual petrol for 2 years and its been great till now. The windscreen wiper assembley drivers side, has come adrift and the small metal ball joint has come out of the nylon pot which is worn. As a new assembly is around

I used thick tie wraps, they certainly lasted 3 months before I scrapped the car.

I'll have a look for VW part numbers for you....back in a mo.

 

I can't see anything for individual joints via VW. only arms or full linkages.

I don't think the joints are available separately, but other members have improvised repairs as above, or similar. It might be worth having a search of the site, and looking through the windscreen wiper repair bits in th FAQ section.

 

As for mk I or II, yours is a pre-2000 mk I car, but the windscreen wiper assembly was changed in 1998 - so yours could be the early type with 4 mounting bolts, or the later type with 3.
