Nice of you Will to mention that the motor can be bought online and what a bummer that you have to buy the whole barn from the dealer :) And always a good thing to double check settings just to make sure. Of course, I know you've seen to where the OEM information is wrong also :) Have a good one and don't work too hard!
stuzman if time allows most parts can be ordered online with huge savings, even if compared to your local big name stores AutoZone etc. they seem cheap but still marked up compared, nearly 90% on a set of o2 sensors purchased last week got 2 for 1 just about identical items. thanks for the compliments I will pass on to Tammy ;)
Excellent review on the entire process!! Need to perform this same repair to my 2009 VW Touareg. VW dealer tells me the passenger side wiper arm mechanism is 'stuck' to the two mounting posts and will not come free w/o cutting the arm mechanism off. I live in the desert. The car lives in the desert. The car rarely gets wet. Hard to believe the dealer's story. I will dive in and investigate myself. Your review will help me immensely with the process Thank you!!
Nice video Will. I see you got artistic with the video cover. Should be a happy customer with functional wipers and a less costly repair than at a dealership.
I've got 3 wiper issues. First is the passenger side stays put. I figure bad bushings somewhere. Next is the wipers only work around 10mph or more. Some comments said this is intentional. But I am sitting at a light, its showing or sleeting, my windshield is getting obscured. I don't have a good view ahead. I can't imagine any car company making a system that stops a 10mph or less. I totally get the auto adjusting delay for speed. And my washer doesn't work, but I have the new pump for that fix.
I am, hard at work doing nothing ! LOL ! No works been slow lately, collecting unemployment and catching up on a lot of work at home that needed to be done for years !
I assumed from the beginning that the wiper motor would be a dealer only or salvage yard item. Did it cost an arm and a leg or just an arm an a leg up to the knee?............lol. Thanks for another excellent video, sir.
ICU2 dealer will try and sell the complete assembly price tag comes with a stroke, they went for the arm and leg then i stepped away before they got the jewels lol however you can find just the motor online pretty easily if time allows (7L6-955-119-B) around $200us
the retainer thats attached to the firewall on the driver side of my Touareg sheared off. is that a replaceable part? or can i weld the one that cracked off back on?
2004 VW Taureg. How in the world do you get the pivoting nut off the bolt? This is the passenger side where the wiper is mounted to the motor and a pivot bearing in order for the wiper to be supported moving upwards. This is a free moving bearing underneath and there's no way to grab/hold the bolt to get the nut off. How would I get this off? I have everything else off but that nut.
I can see where that could be a real pain. I guess if you spend the money at the dealer and get the whole assembly, there'd be no worries about alignment. Nice job!
Farmboy's Garage true but then again they would most likely need to be coded, park position measured out after install then learned, so it really wouldn't mater much. This method is a known park position off the vehicle with a coded wiper motor
Is there a special tool that allows you to remove the passenger side, non-drive spindle nut off? The bolt/spindle is free spinning and I'm not sure how thats supposed to come off without a special tool or way to lock the bolt while tightening or loosening. Thanks
I have this same problem! There must be a trick... or a tool? I do know there is a metallic bushing in the arm mount on the non-drive spindle. That bushing is known to corrode to the spindle. Soak the passenger wiper arm spindles and mounts with PB Blaster for several days and see if that helps.
Locktite will NOT "work it's way into the treads". It is not a penetrant. It hardens from lack of oxygen and pressure. If it did work it's way down that would mean the treads are badly worn.
Erik Andresen true, disregard that step not required anyhow it's a taper lock that are normally a bi### to get apart without anything. gotta get something for effort, saved the next guy lol cheers
I'm dealing with the same thing, I was told the part of the arm that connects to the spline stripped out that's why it's not turning / wiping on the passenger side anymore. so I'm hoping I can just replace the arm, we'll see, hopefully it's not a transmission wiper arm linkage problem.

Great catch on the parked position. Overly complicated system but that's the way it is. Nice work.
wyattoneable thank you, that's how i try to look at as well, is what it is
It's always good to double / triple check things, nicely done!
Thomas EXOVCDS bites us everytime we don't, then again at times when we do double check things still~ well you know lol thanks for the compliment

Cool idea to show a pic on the phone, too. Clear and cleverly explained! :-)
What next, sunshine? Thank you for the kind feed back and compliments :) hope your having a splendid day

Badgertronix thanks
can bus is the future. without a scope it is impossible to do diagnostic on modern cars.
Awesome thanks
Thanks for the videos.
Duncan MacKenzie your welcome
Great video
Tim webb thank you
Thank you
Where did you got the motor. I replaced mine with used one on eBay but still doesn’t work
the retainer thats attached to the firewall on the driver side of my Touareg sheared off. is that a replaceable part? or can i weld the one that cracked off back on?

Jeez, why do they have to make everything so difficult?? LOL
Hi. We have same problem. Just wondered if the motor you bought on line was brand new at approx $200 us or second hand? Thanks
another good video whateverhappened to good old fashioned wiper motor no module needed 😆
Desmond Blyan they lasted to long lol just playing guess it's that ever changing trend we gotta try and keep up with.
Yupp technology at its worst 😆
What about me back wipers ? I think they're full of whiskey for St Paddy's day so be careful with the test light and it's 90% proof 🍻.
Tom OConnor nice!!!! Thanks for the heads up lol well it was full ;)
Where did you get rebuilt or used motor?
Oh boy that’s a good question I can try to dig up the history on this. It’s been a few years
Is there a special tool that allows you to remove the passenger side, non-drive spindle nut off? The bolt/spindle is free spinning and I'm not sure how thats supposed to come off without a special tool or way to lock the bolt while tightening or loosening. Thanks

Mine sometimes work sometimes no what is the prob ? Rear and front
How do you stop the water from coming in on the new motor its just gone destroy the new motor

On mine the left wiper the one with the two mounts the taper has come out of the arm and I can’t get it to bite the arm and it just spins

This is advanced engineering? Really?
Typical overengineered German stuff. I bet VWs are your least favorite brand to wrench on. :)
Chris Freemesser lol more moving parts after sales at its finest. they can be challenging at times
