Just one I believe Mr Sean_Jaymo,

 

this wiper linkage arm in question fits to all RHD Corrado's only,

fits between motor and right wiper spindle.

I'll do one more batch of these smaller linkage arms,

so this will go into mid part of April 2014.

I will try and keep a few back just in case there is anyone who needs 1 or 2 in the future.

 

 

Mr Stuarttaylor37 has asked me about the item below.

 

I might be doing a group buy of the larger linkage arm,

part n.o: 535-955-326A these are £28.30 each.

 

Just really testing the water to see if there's much interest in this part.

But this won't be until late April or early May of 2014 possibly,

plus I won't be able to purchase as many each time as the smaller linkage,

due to them being more exspensive.

 

Might be 5 or 6 in each batch.

 

 

Many thanks.

Carriage / postage:

 

 

I thought I had some jiffy parcels left but haven't,

so I've ordered some more which work out at £0.20p each,

so for this reason I've had to add £0.20p to cover my costs.

 

Option 1A / 1B

To be honest I normally send out items 1st or 2nd class signed on delivery,

this way the parcel can be tracked and a copy of the delivered signature can be shown.

 

Option 2A / 2B

I can also send parcels out on standard 1st and 2nd class delivery,

but they won't be tracked on this service.

 

>>> 1st and 2nd class signed on delivery,

has compansation insurance capped to £50.00

and

1st and 2nd class standard delivery

has compensation insurance capped to £20.00

 

The value of each of these small linkages is £15.52

 

 

 

You can choose from any of the 4 delivery options.

May / June 2014 prices.

 

(ROYAL MAIL ARE PUTTING PRICES UP FROM MARCH 31ST 2014)

They are adding £0.20 to their parcel deliveries,

so I'll have to do the same to cover my costs.

Hi,

 

Last night my wiper linkage arm decided that it wants to disconnect everytime i use the wipers. Do you have any left?

 

Cheers,

 

Carl...

[Jon_vr6 1]

Any news on the second batch?

[vw rule 19]

Hello there,

 

apologies for not updating sooner I've been really busy,

so haven't had as much time as I did around 2 to 3 weeks ago.

 

UPDATE - of second batch.

 

I've been told by VW Heritage that the order has landed in the UK,

so hoping to have delivery to me by Friday 21/02/2014

or mid part of next week.

 

 

Many thanks.

[vw rule 19]

Hello CARL355M,

 

I bought two for my self one I fitted to my Corrado this weekend just gone,

and the other I was keeping as a spare.

But you can have it if you want as you need it ASAP by the sounds of it.

 

Drop me a PM of where you are in the UK or if you're outside of the UK,

and I'll give you a price regarding the postage.

 

The spare new wiper linkage I have is £15.52 + postage,

if you are in the UK then the postage cost to you should be £4.30,

which is a 1st class signed on delivery.

 

But can be a little more if you're from Ireland or the Channel Islands,

so for this reason I normally send out 2nd class standard delivery to these destinations,

as it's a bit cheaper.

 

There is an amended postage cost for deliveries in the UK,

at the top of page 9 on this thread, cheers.

 

 

PS CARL355M I've just sent you a PM of the above info as well.

 

 

Many thanks.

Small wiper linkage arm fitment

 

Fitment of the new wiper linkage isn't that bad to be honest,

the old one you remove by using a flat ended screw driver,

or in some cases it can lift off by hand if the bushes are really worn out.

 

But first of all you'll have to switch on the ignition and turn the wipers on with the bonnet open,

once you can see both ends of the old wiper linkage,

quickly switch off the ignition and remove the old wiper linkage using a flat ended screw driver,

then once the small linkage arm is completely removed use a clean cloth,

or a small piece of fine to medium sand paper to remove any of the old plastic nylon off the two ball joints,

(The ball joints are what the wiper linkage fits / rotates on)

 

Now use a very small amount of EP grease (this is the grease that you use on wheel bearings)

the grease helps to pop on the new linkage arm,

plus lubricates the ball joints once the linkage arm is fitted.

 

NOTE !!

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF HOW THE OLD LINKAGE ARM COMES OF,

AS THEY ONLY FIT ON ONE WAY SO IF YOU FIT THE NEW LINKAGE ARM WRONG THE WIPERS MAY NOT WORK CORRECTLY.

 

The small linkage has a kink roughly in the centre,

and the longer shoulder should be straight parallel to the kink,

but the shorter shoulder should have a slight bend to the left.

In the attached photos below you'll see 2 old small linkages,

one is fully attached and the other is loose on the floor but up side down,

I've written on the attached linkage F = FRONT -(is the longer shoulder)

TOP = raised kink in centre,

and B = BACK -(is the shorter shoulder)

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]77804[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]77805[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]77806[/ATTACH]

 

The longer shoulder fits to the wiper motor crank arm

(this nylon bush has the 2 small tabs on the under side)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]77807[/ATTACH]

 

And the shorter shoulder fits to the drivers wiper spindle,

and has a slight bend to the left.

(this nylon bush has no tabs)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]77808[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH=CONFIG]77806[/ATTACH]

In this second photo above,

the old linkage on the floor on it's side,

you can clearly see that the centre kink is parallel with the right longer shoulder,

and that the left shorter shoulder has a slight bend in it.

This is how the small linkage should look.

 

READY TO FIT NEW

With the new linkage arm ready to fit on,

start at the wiper motor end and push the new linkage on,

you might need a pair of pliers or large grips,

(you have to push / press on the metal part of the linkage arm close to where the nylon bush is,

and on the crank arm from the wiper motor near to where the small ball joint is,

and carefully press the two parts together to get the wiper linkage arm on)

 

But be careful as you can damage the nylon bushes very easily,

(The bushes are the round black or grey circler part at each end of the linkage arm)

 

Then at the other end of the wiper linkage arm where it fits directly onto the drivers wiper spindle,

you have to move the wiper arms to their full top wipe so that the drivers wiper is at the edge of the drivers side A-pillar,

this way you'll be able to see the small ball joint on the end of the wiper spindle.

Here you'll have to use as before a pair of pliers or large grips,

but I tried this when I was fitting mine and found it a bit tight to get any pliers in there,

so I got a 1/2" ratchet extension a short one and carefully jammed it under the drivers wiper spindle arm,

directly under where the small ball joint is,

so that it wouldn't flex / bend when I was applying a little pressure when fitting the new linkage.

 

1) Basically I used a short 1/2" extension under the drivers wiper spindle,

so that the spindle arm wouldn't flex / bend downwards

 

2) Plus I used a long 19mm 3/8" socket, attached to it was a long 3/8" extension,

I carefully put the 19mm socket over the linkage bush that I wanted to press on,

and holding the 19mm socket complete with extension in my left hand,

I used a copper head hammer in my right hand and carefully hit the end of the extension,

with just one or two soft / medium hits with the hammer the new linkage arm was completely attached.

 

NOTE !

(The 19mm socket has to completely fit over the nylon bush,

not to fit on it other wise you could damage it)

 

 

NOTE !

But don't hit or press with pliers directly onto the plastic nylon bushes or you could damage them,

you've got to press down on the metal part of the linkage arm on the edge,

just beside the nylon bush so as to not damage them.

 

 

Hope this helps.

 

Any problems give me a shout and I might be able to sort out some photo's,

and post them up on this thread.

 

 

Many thanks

Hello SANKYSVR6,
