Wiper linkage arm 536-955-325 I have a few to sell.

[vw rule 19]

Hello JON,

 

ok cheers mate top man,

I got the part number off the VW Heritage site,

but if it's wrong then I'll amend it in any future post.

 

Thank you Sir :salute:

Yeah theres RHD linkages - 536 and LHD linkages - 535

[vw rule 19]

Right looking at this link below,

it shows the whole wiper system in detail, complete with all part numbers.

 

http://autopartmaster.com/en/?action=catalog_show&cat=vw&t_id=112306&id_pic=19070&cod=6N0955427

 

Item 16 is for LHD Corrado's

says wiper likage 535-955-326 (532mm long)

 

and

 

item 17 is for RHD Corrado's

says wiper linkage 536-955-326 (529mm long)

 

But on the VW Heritage site looking under the Corrado section,

it says (Right hand side wiper linkage arm) = 535-955-326A

 

Not sure if they've changed the part number or not,

by adding the letter A at the end ??

I'll ring them and report back with what say.

 

 

Many thanks.

Sorry on that link the part number 535-955-326 hasn't got the A at the end,

it's only added on the VW Heritage site.

Like I say I'll ring them.

 

 

Thanks.

Quick Update:

 

I phoned VW Heritage earlier on and ordered a few items for my own car,

plus made enquiries in to the longer wiper linkage on the RHD Corrado,

and told them both part numbers above and of their part number 535-955-326A

 

I was told it possibly might be that the part number has changed,

but I'm hoping for a phone call from them on Monday 24/02/2014

so I'll report back around then after speaking to their tech department.

 

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 ARE COMES OF,

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

 

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

 

Si

 

 

Off page 10 Goldie

[vw rule 19]

Hello Goldie,

 

have a look on page 10 of this thread,

I've posted up there a guide on how to remove and refit the new linkage.

 

I removed my old one by hand and by using a medium to large flat ended screw driver,

but you have to switch the wipers on then quickly flick the ignition switch off and on,

to get the linkage in the right place,

start first of all by taking the linkage off the wiper motor crank arm,

then take off the linkage end on the drivers wiper spindal arm,

to do this you'll need the drivers wiper to be at it's top wipe position againt the A-pilla,

so you'll be able to see it easier.

 

Like I say have a read of that guide I posted up on page 10,

other then that I can post up some photo's if needed ??

 

 

Hope this helps
