Campaign 0 Posted January 25, 2003 Er.. I'd be really careful about printing up CCGB articles on here - I really doubt that they would appreciate it! I'll let it ride for the moment, but they are © and you should really ask permission before reprinting them... 8) Main thing is that these technical articles in The Sprinter are for members of the club, if you wan'em, join up - only £15 for the year....

Jim 2 Posted January 25, 2003 Cheers Jeremy.. You dont need to tell me.. already made my membership fee back this year thanks to VW giving me parts club discount on an exhaust backbox :) CCGB membership is definately worth the £15! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nigwell 0 Posted January 31, 2003 Hi Have just done this Mod and Woooow :lol: it is well worth the money and only takes about 5mins, clears the screen first time no juddering or skipping of the blades any more. Nigwell :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2cc 0 Posted February 25, 2003 OK guys, saw these on endor71's tidy motor last sunday and they do look good. So just been talking to my stealer and he reckons they suffer from lift off at speed on the Lupo :shock: According to him thats about 50mph upwards which ain't gonna impress me on the c coz it only goes slower than that in town; tho' to be fair to him he doesn't know anyone who's done the mod yet. So before I part with any cash thought I'd ask whether the c suffers from this problem, or are they the biz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
endor71 0 Posted February 26, 2003 They seem fine but not been tested in rain yet (never rains when you want it to) :) Work good with window wash and seems not to lift or skid about the screen. Will do a closer up photo later today 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted February 26, 2003 The Lupo Screen is at a different angle to the Corrado's so the problem may be not as bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fat Tony 0 Posted February 27, 2003 watford16vc, Has anybody tried this mod yet,just like to know if it works :?: :?: 8) I'm sure Sandy will be at the RR day and you can have a look Sandy I assume your going? l8trs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe M 0 Posted February 27, 2003 Just seen a post on the Yahoo group, apparently the wipers work great with no lift even at 100mph. Also, if you buy 2 drivers side arms instead of a driver and passenger side then both fit perfect without catching the bonnet or edge of the screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2cc 0 Posted February 27, 2003 No lift then - great. But the pass side is longer than drivers, so wonder how much that would reduce the swept area by - would it still be mot legal? Anyway am off to the stealers tonight & will check it out then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 27, 2003 so wonder how much that would reduce the swept area by I'd like to know exactly, since I need the make sure the passenger side will wipe the rain sensor... if its too small and misses it - I'll have to live with the bigger passenger side one with it up at an angle.

G60Jet 1 Posted February 27, 2003 Andi, Take your drivers one off and fit the it to the passenger side to check 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 27, 2003 Yeah, was probably gonna do that in the end, actually... I'm just lazy and wanted to see if someone else would find out for me ;) I'll order a drivers-side tomorrow and pick it up next week when I get back from the Mrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
too hot 0 Posted March 5, 2003 Andi, Don`t know if you have tried it yet or have you been too busy :lol: :lol: I have bought and fitted them today as the guys say only took five minutes unbolt the old ones bolt up the new ones --- job done :lol: I bought the two drivers side arms and blades part numbers: 6x2955410A(wiper arms) 6x2955425B(wiper blades) The question about how far it wipes is difficult to explain,at the top of the sweep top of screen there is a 4cm space between top of the blade and the top of the screen (this would appear to be the same as standard) I think that would be OK for your rain sensor if it is fitted up next to the rear view mirror. 8) When the wipers are at the diagonal point facing the top corner of the passenger side of screen-there is 10" between the top of the blade and the top right corner of the screen.Ithink this is more or less the same as standard. The main thing is they work perfectly every time. :lol: :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
