fendervg 32 Posted January 22, 2023 Looking for the long wiper linkage arm for RHD, 536955326. I have the shorter one, and I know there was a group buy on these, or a lot was bought from Classic Parts (now out of stock), so wodering if anyone has one squirrelled awaty that they'd be willing to part with - currently rebuilding the whole wiper assembly. Would also be interested in the short link rod (#2 in picture), if available. I think someone on the FB group said they had one, but for the life of me I can't find the post again! Many thanks.

Keyo 47 Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) A shame I had the complete diagram above nos - parts I had sourced including a new genuine motor- had it on Fb cheaper then it cost me to get the bits- In the end sold it all for 200 to chap who purchased a VSR manifold, vwms gear box and a vwms steering wheel off me. Going on a storm in Lincoln way. Have you checked classics no 17 and no 2 I purchased mine about a year back. You can get the little one cheap. https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.com/catalog/en_uk/part/535955121 Edited January 22, 2023 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyo 47 Posted January 23, 2023 This is a very good price for a nos genuine motor. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314136967656?epid=646641386&hash=item492405b9e8:g:l7EAAOSwrTVjGIXr&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4Bf6YQ5bpq5Rt4BN4hfImTRCxusAMzn%2BAPba0lu6rnYXR8ESP%2B1P41A5Z%2FyXb%2BZlsza4CfOpiy4cKH8kEUksLKU5dE3Tg5JecplM%2BvXVSbDIaMAtkn7chXkZvznAdqVIxnHFyp28Hma2DzXNXWDQM0NcRjsK1OK3lTFMH60EXt390OmCM4S8sS%2FCyK28KcBYrWoxdaHcIFgXn5ZBJPa79y0dCllydrCIGJYTRdju8vDwPIK3MZaf318QKpUIpZSU7K%2B4S66VOuRUbozyuOmagSO1c%2FaffStMrBGruj2csg97|tkp%3ABFBM6teKv7th Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted January 23, 2023 Thanks Keyo - don't need a motor, but good find on the small link piece. I'll seeif I can order it. 17 looks to be unavailable, only the left hand drive version in stock, so still looking for that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks to be gone obsolete- Im pretty sure I have a complete unit in the loft - I will take a look at the condition - if you organise postage you can have it free. Sometimes the motors actually came with that little link no 2 new . Infact that motor on ebay should be the motor that came with the little link it may be in the box.

_Matt_ 32 Posted January 23, 2023 What's the deal on the wiper arm? Does the metal wear out or is it a bushing that fails over time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fendervg 32 Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) It's the molded on bushes that go and cause slop in the linkage - that's why I'm hoping to find a NOS one from the group buy if possible rather than second hand - the old on I have still works ok, but with a bit of play, and is likely to be at least as good as any s/h one.

_Matt_ 32 Posted January 23, 2023 Cheers. I do have a NOS wiper full assembly but sadly can't part with it whilst I have the car. There is someone either on here or on the facebook group 3d printing bushes if you become desparate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fendervg 32 Posted January 23, 2023 Thanks - yep, keeping an eye on that thread. I have a NOS wiper linkage frame and my motor is in good condition, and also have a new short link - so just looking to get hold of the longer linkage now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
