Scirocco Register

Just sorting out the windscreen wipers, a bit reluctant to get going at first but they are now at least moving on all settings, is it possible to change the grease in the wiper gear box? I have had a look on the old www and there are suggestions about using white lithium grease, does anyone have any experience with this?

Many thanks

you're more likely going to need to grease the wiper spindles as these are often neglected.
take the wiper mech completely apart and you will see the bushes that get stuck

Thank you James, I did take the linkage apart and cleaned up the spindles, was working for a bit, still slow even on high speed, now the motor has burned out.. Ah well that will encourage me to get a new motor, I think I read somewhere on the forum that a Golf Mk3 wiper motor is compatible, will have to look for that post.

Yeah as James said grease grease grease.

Also pretty sure essextom at Dreadnought has a motor or 2 as I sold him one in a job lot. Might be worth giving him a shout
