Prius (2004-09) :: Wiper Blades Skip Across The Surface And Noisy
Since when I bought the car (used) if the windshield isn't really wet, the wiper blades skip across the surface of the windshield and make a lot of noise. This occurred before and after I replaced just the wiper rubber.

So I have a 2001 Jetta Wolfsburg, the wipers work fine, but when I switch them off they stop in the middle of the windshield. Also when I use the spray, the fuse blows every time.

The rear wiper on my wife's 20th stopped working the other day. I checked the fuse and it was fine. I pulled off the rear panel and got to the wiring. I don't have a Bentley so I'm not sure what wire does what. I tested the wires and the far left is a switch 12V and the far right is the ground. The center two didn't show any voltage with or without the wiper on. When should these wire see power? What else should I check?

I needed to get part numbers off of my TCM for my 2003 Jetta GLS 1.8T and thought that they were electrostatically welded on due to dissimilar metals. I ran into a retired friend that was a VW Tech for years and he told me that they are a tension fit to the shafts and the easiest way to remove is to grab the arm with your hand and press down towards the arm while lifting the area by the shaft.
I found a video on YouTube that shows this and it works : [URL] ....
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Rear Wiper Fluid Line Leaking
I have a leak in my rear wiper fluid line on my GTI. When I use the rear washer, I get a pool of fluid in the driver side taillight and under the rear seats. I'm getting some fluid in the rear driver side headliner as well so the break must be there. First step is to pull the headliner.

I have a 2003 Golf GTI VR6. Over probably a year, my rear wiper began working only intermittently. Eventually it stopped working at all. Based on lotsa googling, here's the troubleshooting I've done so far to investigate:
1. Pushed the stalk forward, listened for relay *tick* sound. I didn't hear the tick. Wiper doesn't move.
2. Went outside the car and didn't hear any sounds coming from the wiper motor.
3. Pushed stalk all the way forward, rear wiper washer was activated and works fine. Wiper doesn't move.
4. Checked wiper fuses. No indication of blown fuse.
5. Pulled the relay and inspected. No burn marks or loose wires.
6. Ran voltage through the relay and relay opens and closes without issue.
From what I've read, the fact that the relay appears to work fine in tests but doesn't work in the car suggests either the stalk or a wiring harness failure. I've also read washer fluid can leak in to the motor and cause it to stop working, but that seemed like a less likely cause. What do you all think?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2004 - Rear Wiper Stays On Regardless Of Switch Position
Rear wiper stays on regardless of switch position. It runs as if the switch was on - intermittently. No critters chewing, Stops with the fuse pulled. We get lots of snow and I need it, rain-x won't cut it. It has 80k on the clock and everything works perfectly. the wiper homes between runs. Disconnected the battery for 5 mins for fun. Is this switch prone to this kind of failure?
View 1 RepliesGolf IV / Jetta IV :: Wiper Rear Windshield Sprayer Would Work Intermittently
Weird issue on my MK4 GTI. So it started out just as the rear windshield sprayer would work intermittently. Then the same happened to the front one. Then sometimes the rear windshield wiper would just come on by itself when hitting bumps on the highway. Now sometimes the front windshield wipers won't work, the rear doesn't work at all, and neither sprayers work.
So, where's best to start? I figured maybe the toggle switch is worn out. I haven't looked to see how hard it is to get out/test. I assume there's some linkage or wires I can get to once I remove the trim under the steering wheel to do a simple continuity test and see if the switch is working. Or would relays cause this? I wouldn't think that many relays could fail this quickly while running at normal voltages...
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Wiper Fluid Doesn't Function But The Tank Is Full
2001 GTI VR6. 82,000mi and it has some issues. Right now, the wiper fluid doesn't function but the tank is full of fluid, I found a wire cluster with a clip that wasn't even hooked up. Problem, I don't know where to connect it.

At times my windshield wipers stall halfway up my windshield or move really slowly. Other times absolutely fine, I already checked both battery terminals and niether were the issue. What's the best way to get to the wiper motor to check the connections. Or does it sound like a ground strap issue elsewhere on the car.

my third brake light, hatch wiper and fluid stuff all don't work. can't really tell if defrost works either but considering the amount of damage they probably don't. there was a hole in one of the grommets leading into the hatch on my gti and they all got wet and damaged. It looks like I barely even have enough room to cut out the damage and be able to replace it with new wiring. is there any kind of product where I could just replace an entire section or no

View 2 RepliesVolkswagen - Jetta :: 2006 - Windshield Wiper Stopped Working
What is wrong with my 2006 VW Jetta. The windshield wipers quit working all of a sudden. I stopped to get gas and turned off the wipers( it was raining), got gas and went to turn on the wipers, they are not working. I don't even hear the motor run. When I was trying to research online, one of the solutions I came across was spraying WD-40 on the motor to dry up the water and try to fix the problem.here are my questions. 1. does this work? 2. do I need a new motor? 3. If I decide to spray WD-40, do I need to take the wiper arms and the plastic guard on the front to access the motor or can I spray through the grill on the plastic cover?
View 1 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Replacing Rear Wiper
Do the rear wiper arm of a new model Audi A3 can replace the 2015 GTI's? The GTI version leaves a bunch of the blade exposed and I would like a cleaner look with no exposed blade. I think the A3 may work and still have the same size wiper.

I bought the car with a polo wiper already installed and I'm totally fine with that because it looks a lot better. The thing is, the sprayer has never worked. I can hear it function when I use the lever for it but it doesn't shoot anything out. I took a pic and it looks like I'm missing something. If not, I guess I'll have to take it apart.

Mine do. Its really weird especially if I haven't been using the wipers at all and I arrive somewhere, shut the car off, and the wiper blades twitch. Just curious to see if this is normal.

I have the MK5 wiper arm on my hatch. Has worked flawlessly for years. Recently though the spray nozzle doesn't point up anymore. It moves (partially) along with the wiper arm and the juice isn't going where it needs to. Namely straight up!
View 5 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Intermittent Wiper Speed Only Works On Low
The wiper-speed selector (aka: the little switch on the top of the right stalk) does not seem to influence the frequency in which the wiper activates on intermittent mode.
Lowest setting: 5 second interval
Highest setting: 5 second interval.
This is strange as it was working a week ago
Specifically any fuse for this function? Or is there a specific relay that takes care of this action?
