Front Windscreen Wiper Problems

[Guest waryoffraud]

An intermittent problem that's become more frequent over the last few months. First noticed Jan 06. Wipers randomly stop half way across screen and then start up again. Also started to judder. Sometimes fail to start at all, but worse when cold. Similar ramdom stopping on rear wiper - always at same point - and over-running of the normal 3-cycle wipe. Quoted approx.

I'd have a go at dismantling and re-greasing first

Mumble....its not a bad job really....now i know what im doing ill be able to do it again!!.The satisfaction and self accomplishment i felt once everything was back together and the wipers worked properly for the first time in months....it felt brilliant.

I sat in that car and just washed the windscreen with the wipers for half an hour.(sad i know).But i had a huge grin on my face!! :blink:

hmmm, this sounds like a similar problem I have had twice. Both times the windscreen wpers have juddered & then stopped. Twice the garage have replaced the motor unit under warranty. Also I have had electrical problems with the rear windscreen wiper and the water hose/connector coming loose and disconnected. Once I guess can happen, twice it's a bit different and thought there may be other people with the similar problem.

Thanks for the advice mumof4 and nikpv.

 

Mumble mentioned some pics - " "speshel" congrats to mo4 - excellent job and the pics.. tbh if you hadnt put the pics up I woulda tried it myself.. after seeing them - I changed my mind - I'll let a pro do it." - and I'm probably being dim but can't see these anywhere?

 

Mumof4 - how do you get to the relevant bits?

[mumof4]

Which bits do you mean exactly?

[mumof4]

You need to look at the whole thread nik posted..if still not sure then just ask away!!
