BrianH Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 The correct one listed for your vin on Microcat is Finis 1022952 or p/n 95vw 17505 EA Googling the second number comes back with a few sites that suggest the motor you list is different - the one below for examplehttp://www.tav-autoverwertung.de/shop/Front-wiper-motor-VW-7M0-955-113-C-Bosch-0-390-241-431-1-397-328-048-Ford-95VW-17505-EA But are you sure it isn't seized spindles first?

viperclive Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Posted July 28, 2015 Hi Brian cheers for that, the spindles are ok free as a bird, when in use as window dries in drizzle wiper slow down and stop, have to squirt water on window to get them to park. What im looking for is a second hand part so I can strip this one down and fit new brushes. Quote
BrianH Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) There is a problem with the controller circuitary corroding - this is on the motor (Seatkid has pointed towards this being my intermittent issue where the wipers won't stop, but i haven't got round to sorting it out due to fixing other more pressing faults taking what time i had to sort them out). Either way it looks like the motor changed around 1998 sometime from the brief googling i've done, so you may get away with the later one, or maybe not. What sort of milage is yours upto though to have worn out the motor? Also there is definietly 2 versions of wipers on the mk1 - they changed from 10/98 looking at microcat theres acutally 2 pictures of different arrangements. Not sure if the motor is the same without a later vin to lookup. Edited July 28, 2015 by BrianH Quote
viperclive Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Posted July 28, 2015 Cheers for that Brian, I think Im just going to have to take it out to get correct number off her, job for in the morning, as for milage she has done 254,475 miles n still going strong, although got a few valve lifters that are getting noisy.

BrianH Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Ah not doing too badly then. Mines almost to 200k now Quote
viperclive Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Posted July 28, 2015 She gets used a lot as she's had LPG Conversion and that's 55p a ltr down here! Quote
BrianH Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Same here. 55.9 locally but cheaper still if I end up in Birmingham. 43p there! Means now I'm getting 245 miles for just over £20 on a trip there Quote
