Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Bent wiper arms?

    I recently had the wiper arms off the windscreen, and before placing them back, I accidently activated the wipers and of course the arms hit the bonnet.

    The wipers now squeak at the top of each stroke no matter how wet the glass. The wipe action itself is smooth.

    Are the wiper arms bent causing the squeak?

    Actually the arm might be twisted ,my Tiguan was doing the same,
    you need to small shifters hold the wiper at the top and bottom and twist just the part above the main wiper arm use a cloth so not to mark the paint

      My drivers side one has done that since new Even a new set of wiperblades only helped for a short time

      Mine didnt squeak it shuddered at the top of the stroke on return because the rubber didnt swap direction at the top.
