Another wiper question!

[MattP]

My wipers are definitley too slow and wobbly and now they’re the same speed regardless of which setting I put them on.

Anyone else had/got this?

I have the same issue and was told it’s the linkages, I’ve bought new ones which I’m going to fit tomorrow

Let me know if it does the job!

 

[MattP]

And now they’re completely dead! Annoyingly they’ve died slightly up the screen!

There is a how to thread on here that involves regreasing the shafts but I’m just going to replace it for peace of mind. Will be doing it tomorrow as I’ve been busy today

I’ve just changed the linkages and can confirm all is back to normal. Renault Parts Direct have the linkages on sale for £150 at the moment, or I could send you mine and you could have a go at un seizing them?

you can get linkages from standard clios. mine had snapped and managed to get a set fairly cheaply from a local breaker

Make sure to check the scuttle panel for blockages as the motor will be submerged and could cause it to fail

 

[MattP]

Right, will check and see if it’s underwater/leaves

Although in classic french style they worked perfectly today!!

Will never forget the time my 182 decided to change its mind about how the rear wipers worked, in that one day they started operating in the 'off' position and do nothing in the 'on' position - after a few days they decided to go back to normal. You gotta admire how that is even possible.
