Hello,

I, for my part, always apply a few drops of oil to everything that is accessible from the outside on the door hinges, etc., and that moves – so to the axles and the pivot joints of the wiper arms, every time I lubricate them.

Even though it's no longer included in any maintenance plan.

Somehow, I realized quite early on that all the rain and saltwater in the winter can't really be good for the storage areas and joints in the long run.

Well, it all depends on the construction. My Golf 2 has never had any maintenance on the wiper linkage, and it has never had any problems. My Golf 4 started having problems after 80,000 km.

In the windshield wiper arm bearings, grease, not oil, should be used.

I'm wondering why those two cadets and the Ascona never had any problems. They never saw any maintenance in my hands.
Service duration: 12 - 14 years!

One can clearly see how long the ING has been in service from such things...

See you, Gremlin

. . . oder wie man heute gezielt spätere Reparaturen in Autos rekonstruieren kann - natürlich nach Ablauf der Garantie und mit einem kleinen Puffer, um kleinere Skandale zu verhindern, was auch verhindert, dass Defekte unter ungünstigen Betriebsbedingungen zum Verlust der Garantie führen . . .

@Julian:
But I don't feel like disassembling the wiper arms just to grease them everywhere

A single drop of oil flows down from above and gradually settles in, remaining in the reservoir for a while due to adhesion, before water can again come into contact with metallic surfaces
