yoda Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Hi, First post and yes I'm a person in need!! I own a 2004 TDI Galaxy. My front wipers have a fault. They will move slowly in a intermittent motion, moving then stopping, approx. six times. They get part the way up the screen and stop altogether. When you move the wiper stalk to the of position they return to park an stop. If you do this several times they will eventually wipe the screen and work, but a little slowly. I know similar problems have been covered on here already but my symptoms are a little different. I haven't had chance to look at it yet but intend to do so as soon as possible. Any help and advice would be very, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john49 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi Yoda, same thing happened to me last year and its the bearings seizing up on the wiper mechanism. I've heard that you can sometimes free them up by greasing them but dont know how as mine were replaced by AA on a servie plan John49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
