Wiper Motor S3 - mounting photo please.
Posted: Wed Jan 01, 2014 1:09 pm
I have been tracing a fault (intermittent power and loss of parking), hopefully now resolved, waiting for new park switch and brush plate.
It is a 2 speed 14W round bodied type as opposed to the square bodied type. The motor was cable tied to the mounting lugs (along with a relay that looked like it came from a WW2 submarine which got really hot and will be deleted), and although it appeared secure, I have a mounting band and rubber block on order and intend to mount it correctly to the 3 lugs on the mounting plate. However it is proving difficult to see how it will fit.
Anybody with an S3 or S4 out there with the glove box off able to take a picture?
(I did wonder if this is the wrong type of wiper motor for the car?).
Would like to fit a modern relay too. What type should I get ?
BTW really worthwhile extracting the rack from the wiper wheel boxes, cleaning off the 47 year old solid grease and re-greasing!
Thanks
Malcolm
