Wiper motors

TheBALDpuma:
Hi all. My front wipers will freeze on screen mid swipe. Then worth again. Then freeze again. Etc etc. They also judder a little with their movement.

Is this most likely a motor that's about to die completely? Or something else?

Think @pudding had similar fault on his Mk5 can't remember his fix though.

Sounds like the motor or linkage needs a service or replacement.

Octoparrot:
Sounds like some teeth have stripped in the mechanism somewhere, could be due to trying to use wipers that have stuck to the screen by frost.

ZoliWorks:
If both of them are freezing up or having issues moving in general, I'd get the wiper assembly replaced. You can pick up and test a scrapyard piece. The replacement itself is very easy on the mk5. I've had an issue on my mk4 where it barely moved. It could only move if unscrewed one wiper completely. The mechanism itself gets rusted or the motor burns out. Had the same thing happen on a A4B7. Replacing it on that was a pain in the ass tho cause everything is so tight.
