Today we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the front windshield wiper motor of the Volkswagen Polo. First, we open the car's hood and start unscrewing the fixing screws of the front windshield wiper arms, removing the plastic partition first; once removed, we will remove the cover of the air filter box, as shown in the video.

At this point, we unscrew the screws of the windshield wiper mechanism, disconnecting the electrical connector of the motor to remove the entire unit; we replace the motor with the new one and reassemble everything!
