V70 rear wiper issues + solution - Page 12

HenkK · Jul 27th, 2013, 19:40

I followed the instructions and fixed the stuck axle. I have a left rear wiper that should go from left to right.
When testing it on the car it appeared that the wiper now goes from the 9 position on the clock counter clockwise to the 3 position and back. What did I do wrong?

Thanks, Henk

Problem now fixed. It turned out I assumed the rest position was on the left (9 o'clock position) but that was just the position it got stuck in. So I mounted the wiper on the right (3 o'clock) and all was fine.
Well, as the saying goes: assumption is the mother ...

Does anyone esle have the complete unit feeling loose although it works fine? Ours feels as if it will fall off. Lot of movement.

I have just striped and cleaned out the motor housing and all the gears and bench tested it and it works fine.however when I plug it into the car it doesn't work.i have checked the fuse in the rear and that is fine.anyone got any ideas.sorry I am new to the forums.

It might be a broken wire in the tailgate loom, at the hinge where it has to flex... simplest thing is to use a multimeter on the loom contacts where the motor plugs in and check you have a good ground and 12V on them.

I have recently taken mine apart and I have a worn white wheel.

Is it possible to buy these separately??

If my memory of this is correct the last time this came up the answer was a definite no. Hardly surprising - they aren't supposed to be failing. Unless this has changed you best source is probably a scrappy bearing mind that it too may be affected.
I would suggest lubricating the spindles on these every two years and have a eye to the speed of the wiper - they generally give some warning of imminent seizure.

I wonder if it is possible to 3D print a camgear?
