Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 9, 2013 As above contacted VW heritage to order parts for my wiper rebuild and theyve sent me an email saying that part number 536 955 325 is no longer available The part is the little metal piece between the motor arm and the wiper arm with 2 bushes on either end and a slight kink in the middle Long shot but has anyone got one lying around brand new unused? Thanks Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJ Taylor 22 Posted August 9, 2013 ****, a couple of weeks ago i checked and they had them in stock. Im also after one of these if someones knows where i can get a new part. Jon_vr6 the guy in Chinnor who breaks Corrados will have the peice, put the problem is if u get another second hand bit it will just happen again!

Wesleyvr6 10 Posted August 10, 2013 Ive not checked at the dealer though Jon I got mine not so long ago from Tps in Stockport! They've moved to Cheadle so only down the rd from you buddy. Give them a try, I think it was about £11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 11, 2013 Emailed a company that makes wiper linkages for other cars and asked if they would be interested in making some up for the corrado Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJ Taylor 22 Posted August 12, 2013 Jon let me know what they say please Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted August 12, 2013 If they need a minimum number to make them,I'm in Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 12, 2013 http://wiperlinkages.com/ This is the place I emailed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted August 12, 2013 Jon, Did you ask them about making all the linkage ? In sure the long linkage (536955326) is also obsolete ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 12, 2013 I managed to get the other linkage new, but i have asked if they would make up the two of them (no reply back yet though) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 13, 2013 Linkages being sent off tomorrow to the website above didnt say anything about needing a minimum order so will presume they will put them on their website when they are done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted August 13, 2013 Top work Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJ Taylor 22 Posted August 14, 2013 so what just email them and they'll send me one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 14, 2013 so what just email them and they'll send me one? Ive got to send my ones off first so they can be copied. Then they should appear on the website when they are available. Ill update this thread when that happens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted August 16, 2013 Bit later than i planned to but the wiper linkages have been sent to WIPEX LTD today so they should get them on Monday. So its just a waiting game now Jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted September 12, 2013 Just to keep it up to date, longer linkage is complete and we are just waiting on the shorter one being made. Updates as and when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
volksworld13 0 Posted September 21, 2013 good stuff!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted October 22, 2013 Right ill tell you were im up to and its not good news, Wipex.co.uk cant reproduce the smaller rod part for one reason or another which isnt good, ive just spoken to VW parts and the smaller rod is definitely obsolete. So at the minute its like speaking to a brick wall with wipex as i would like the old parts back but they are either blanking me or the guy is on holiday. So we need to come up with a plan of how to either restore this part to what it was like brand new or get another company to try to reproduce it. I think the restore part is the easier method as its only the bushes that fail on them and not the metal part. Anyone got any ideas or companies that might be able to help?

Dox 23 Posted October 22, 2013 Googled the part number and this came up http://www.partsbase.org/vw/corrado-cor-us-1993-231-windshield-wiper/ Rimmer Bros? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted October 22, 2013 Just enquired about the part with vw classic parts and its got a green light meaning available so asked if it was right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted October 22, 2013 Well ive sent payment over to classic part vw in Germany we'll see if they get back to me like Vw heritage( who are the middle man for Vw parts in UK) did and said they are obsolete. Either looks promising up to now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted October 22, 2013 Hello Jon_VR6, that's great if they can produce that item. But if not I've found a few bits that may or may not be of use. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ONE-WIPER-WORKING-WINDSCREEN-WIPER-MOTOR-LINKAGE-LINK-REPAIR-CLIP-KIT-/321230813858?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4acad93aa2 Or may be to make something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WINDSCREEN-WIPER-MOTOR-LINKAGE-REPAIR-PLATE-FORD-GALAXY-VW-SHARAN-SEAT-ALHAMBRA-/261293847987?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AVW&hash=item3cd653b5b3 I can only really find these rubber grommets, can't find any that are nylon, which I think would be close to the original ones ?? http://www.giantshark.co.uk/product/171529/heli-canopy-rubber-grommet-small-10pcs I will have a look around at a few places close to me, as I've got a few days off now. Other then that it's to drill through the ball joint part, and use a small bolt, washers and a nut to keep it attached ?? Or it's to purchase the longer arm from VW Heritage part n.o 535955326A £28.30 and bend it into the correct shape or cut it and weld it to the correct shape of the shorter arm, this way it's a new arm with new bushes at both ends, and will be the correct replacement after a little fabrication ?? What do you guys think. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
