Ray Singh 6 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 All - I am looking for the rear wiper motor for my daughters Lupo, it has the dreaded leak and this water sprays inside the boot lid and onto the catch mechanism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LR5V 79 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Another option is VW do a repair kit with replacement tube, gaskets, grease - same kit does Mk4 Golf Audi A3, A6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LR5V 79 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 or delete the wiper entirely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mk2 328 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) It might be that the pipe has simply popped off the spigot. I've seen that a few times on various vdubs of the same generation now. If it is, pop it back on and wrap some solid wire around it with a pair of pliers or something so it's nice and tight. After I rebuilt one of my Lupos, I recently had the exact same issue with screen wash pouring out of the tailgate into the wheel well. First thought was same as you- "Damned vdub rear wiper motors!"- It was just that it had come off... Although @LR5V is right- hopefully not the little brass tube running up the centre of the wiper shaft- they snap when the screenwash gets between the outside of the brass tube and the inside of the output shaft- and freezes like concrete. You operate the rear wiper and snap... great design. SMH. Edited December 31, 2020 by mk2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LR5V 79 Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Yes - good point on the baggy hose - it reminded me of my Mk4, it had a short length of hose that had softened and got loose - I just replaced it with some silicone hose and cable tied it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Singh 6 Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 It still partially squirts water on the screen so i think it is the brass tube that has broken. Was bidding on one from Ebay last night - The seller pulled....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mk2 328 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 No easy way out if it has broken. There is a mod you can do, but the spray moves with the arm. Stupid design, just to be cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
