Many years after you placed this video - I used it today to solve my problem with wipers slow on Dodge Caravan.
Thanks!

I tried this but my VW Golf looked totally different! So I set fire to it!

Thank you for uploading this tutorial.
Carried out this repair today, and was 100% successful.
Probably saved myself hundreds of pounds by doing it myself.
Once Big thank you 👍

I was super skeptical of the file, but it worked like a charm! Got my rear wiper off and cleaned with with only an airbag, mallet, adjustable wrench, file, grease, and a porch step! Thanks for the hacks; I don't have many tools with me!

This guy needs to do little league baseball commentary... great voice, understanding, knowledgable. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to make and upload this video - it gave me the confidence to pull my entire wiper assembly out and do what you did, except I used a blowtorch on the bearing to get the shaft out. The problem was exactly the same though. Cleaned it up, packed it with grease and now it is like new. Thank you!

Recently had same issue with my Audi haha on a motorway in a rainy day … was a nightmare not a day . But when I got home managed to take apart and now works like new !

Hey buddy!
I fixed my car's wipers yesterday.. Thanks to you for sharing your valuable knowledge. 🙂

Fantastic run-through! Helped save me from buying another wiper linkage. Rather tricky without a vice, but once the pin was was out, it was a breeze to fix and reassemble.

Thank you! Helped me fix the wipers on my moms car. And saved her some money.

Even if you just gain access to the joints to spray them down, it'll probably do some good. The blades and the plastic portion are easy to remove. I added some lubricant to the joints, cycled the wipers for 10 seconds and the wipers have regained full speed.

Easy as 1, 2, 3...Thank you for this extremely detailed video.

Great video, thorough explanation and relaxing voice! This problem just pccured on my 2013 Golf TDI with 253k km: wil service the system tomorrow for Lord willing!

[SuperRealityKid]

Thanks for your video. My VW Golf wiper mechanism seized and the assembled geometry of components were very difficult to remove in that state. It's tricky enough navigating the assembly out of it's space under the windscreen when you have the option to position the linkage to it's flattest state but it was a real puzzle pulling it out with the link arms set at 90 degrees. Once out, it took lots of heat and penetrating oil before I could disassemble the drive shafts from the phosphor bearings. One was easy but the other well and truly not wanting to move. Cleaned and put back together, it all articulated freely now with putting it back into position easier than removal. One heads up I learned - close the bonnet before testing wipers because the Golf has an inhibitor switch that prevents the wipers working with the lid open 🤣🤣. I spent ages testing fuses before cottoning on 😎😎

You saved me big bucks . Thanks from Canada.

Good job explaining, but you should use a liquid like "Blasters" to free up the mechanism, not oil, as oil has no additive that can break free that sized up pivotal joint. Could possibly even get something like "P.B. Blaster" or other brand (ask parts store manager). Might save lots of labor. You either maintain it or you will replace it! LUBRICATE!

[jimralph]

Had this problem, seized solid, didn't have to strip it apart put in vice plenty wd40 and work it back and forth until free. Good video, thanks
