Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf V, MK 5, Golf 5 - Years 2003-2008
Part: Windscreen wipers
Operation: How to replace the wiper motor on the Vw Golf V

In this video we will find out how to replace the wiper motor of a Golf V. We open the engine hood and mark the end points of the brushes with a marker or tape. Equipped with a slotted screwdriver, remove the cover cap from the fixing nut of both wiper arms, spray some lubricant (eg: Svitol or WD40) on the nuts, and unscrew them with a 13mm socket wrench. Now we press several times on the arm joint in order to release it from the wiper mechanism or alternatively we can use a small three-arm extractor. Once both are unhooked, we proceed by removing the gasket and unhooking the finishing plastic, paying attention to the joint between the plastic and the windshield (I recommend spraying some lubricant in the joint before carrying out this process). With a 10mm bush we unscrew the fixing bolts of the flame arrester and remove it. We disconnect the electrical connector and proceed to disassemble the wiper tandem with attached motor, using a Torx key. We remove everything from its seat and put it back on our work surface, with a screwdriver we lever to release the main arm from the spherical head. We recover the connecting bar fixed on the old motor by unscrewing the nut from the shaft of the latter. Unscrew the 3 fixing bolts of the electric motor with a Torx wrench, unhook it from the tandem and mount the new motor. Before mounting the bar with the ball head we connect the motor to the electrical connector and operate the wiper only once, we wait for the motor to stop spinning, so as to make sure that we will reassemble the bar with the motor in point 0. Now we are ready to reassemble everything. Important: remove leaves and dirt from the compartment where the motor mechanism will be stored as there are rainwater drains; clean the windshield joint thoroughly to facilitate coupling with the finishing plastic and avoid damaging the windshield.
