Thanks to all who replied to my post about a 97 Jetta TD. I passed on it as it was about 4K overpriced!
On one of the worst days of the year for rain, the wipers on my 93 Golf decided to pack it in. They move really slow on the slower speeds, but as soon as I put them to high, the fuse (20A) blows. The wiper motor is making a pretty loud "noise", and the wipers moving really slowly. I took apart the mantle covering the mechanisms and took a look, and all seemed fine, aside from the motor noise.
Does it sound like a motor that needs replacing? Is is as simple as it looks like it should be?
Thanks, Glenn
