bugsymania Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I posted a long while ago about the rear wiper having a mind of it's own and dealer saying they couldn't find anything wrong. I was okeased to hear that this is a fairly common problem that can be sorted by replacing the rear wiper motor. As it doesn't happen that often I haven't bothered doing anything about it yet, but 2 year warranty is about to expire (import) so want to get the motor replaced before it runs out. Does anyone know if there is an official fault code for this problem? as I'd like to go to the dealer armed with this info - Knowledge is power!

Tarmac_Terrorist Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I don't know if there is a specific fault code but I believe there was a technical bulletin issued to dealers. I had mine replaced a couple of weeks ago. Good luck getting it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Its a known issue. Dealer simply cannot be bothered. Simple fix to this goto a different dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsymania Posted May 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Thanks for the replies. I've already tried 2 dealers, both gave same answer, that was before I found out it was a common problem. I think your right Snoopy, they just can't be bothered. Its booked in on tuesday.

AlanH Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Definitely a known fault - had this on my previous GTi, but not on the Ed30. Dealer replaced the wiper motor under warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsymania Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Had it replaced today at the same time as brake fluid and airCON service, mentioned the technical bulletin and is now sorted. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
