wiper question

Post by nickmatteri »

evenin all, Ok walked through MOT today ,only one aside from the tester,(not official) who said although the wipers worked on intermittent and 2 speeds they were slow.
I take it thats a wiper motor issue?

Try a squirt of WD40 down the spindles every couple of weeks for a couple of months. When new they did travel quite fast but age takes it's toll.
