chromedome Posted April 23, 2014 Report Posted April 23, 2014 Can the wiper motor on a MK2 Galaxy be removed with the mechanism still in place? Pretty sure my motor has failed as it's been a bit touch and go for a few months. Probably worn out moving the seized linkage that I had............................ Thanks. Quote
SilverBeast Posted April 23, 2014 Report Posted April 23, 2014 Possibly, but by the time you have got access to it (wipers off, trim panel over wipers off, scuttle panel off) it's just as easy to remove the three extra bolts and remove the whole mechanism. It'll make it a lot easier (and comfortable) to change the motor too, without the risk of dropping stuff (bolts/screws/washers/nuts) down onto/behind the engine and into the undertray (if you are lucky). Was going to upload a picture of motor in situ with all the above removed but Forum appears to be being an arse and still not allowing uploads Quote
chromedome Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Posted April 27, 2014 Wiper motor done. I've got to take it apart again to put the dust cover on the motor drive spindle. One didn't come with the replacement and I forgot to put mine on. Aghhhhhhhhhhh. Quote
SilverBeast Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 Should be quicker this time!! Did you remove the whole mechanism in the end or manage to do it in-situ? Quote
chromedome Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Posted April 27, 2014 Took the whole mechanism out, listened to your advice about losing bits in the black hole! Only took an hour. I can't believe how Ford/VW charge nearly Quote
