How do you know if you need to replace the transmission vs. the motor? On my 2011 jetta Tdi my wipers go on for one minute after I start my car and don’t work on low setting and turn of on medium setting after a minute and work on fast no problems..
Thanks for a great video, it gave me the confidence to do the wipers on my Skoda Octavia, I stripped the two shafts that the arms fit onto & cleaned & lubed the bushes in them. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for the video, I have an issue with VW Jetta 2.5, 2007 wiper system. The wiper motor is variable speed. The driver's side wiper was passing past the A-Pillar, one of the local mechanics pulled out the transmission and said that there is an issue with the pivot and he fixed it by welding it. But, later when he was about to install it, he wanted to check if the system was still working, he kept the hood open, connected the plug to the motor and turned on the wiper but it did not run. We thought the wiper doesn't work if the hood is open and made sure that the computer thinks that it is closed by putting in a screwdriver at the hood lock, even in this case the wiper system did not run. We thought the motor is faulty too and bought two used wiper motors both of them did not run as well. Checked all the fuses and relays all are good. Any suggestion on how to go about the situation will be of great help. Is there a way to check if the motors are good or bad? the variable speed motor has a computer on it and it doesn't work just by pluggin it to a battery I feel, it needs a signal to the computer pin on it.
+Nagamalla Thrilok You might be able to check them with an Ohm meter. We currently do not have a video that shows how to do this. You could test the plug end with a test light to see if there is power going to the wiper motor when the switch is activated. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com
Thank you so much for the reply. Could you please tell how we could check the wiper motor itself if it is working. I mean, is there a way to check without installing it.

Needed to replace W/W motor, but this video covered it. VERY helpful !
Is there a way to know if its the linkage transmission or motor?
Thank you for this it's very clear, not too long yet doesn't skip steps. It was very helpful for me.
Thanks for providing this video. Do you know how much torque was used to tighten the 13 mm nut onto the motor drive shaft?
