Hello everyone,

My windshield wipers on my 2008 Passat have stopped working.
Tap on the wiper motor, but I'm not sure.
I deleted the errors, but they immediately reappear, even after I disconnected the motor. I have to admit that I'm a novice in this area.

Best regards, Maendy.

Yes, the fuses are okay. The three-wire connector has positive and negative connected, and the thinner cable is the control cable. I once disconnected the linkage, and everything moves freely...

It gives it away, doesn't it?
The cable and/or the motor are broken.

Do you have an engine for exchange?

Unfortunately, I don't have one. I could get one from a Passat CC, but it has a 4-pin connector cable.
Is there a way to test the engine?

Best regards,
maendy

There are known issues with leaky covers that can cause the wiper motor control unit (STG) to fail.

A request to the icon_wink.gif regarding possible leniency might be worthwhile.

Yes, the recall information dates back to December 2006 - I had just placed an order and then there were two Passat recalls icon_eek.gif (wiper blades and diesel cooler).

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

Hello everyone,
icon_lol.gif Thank you for your help; the wiper is working again.
During the engine swap from the Passat CC, the purple cable detached from the connector, which was corroded.
By the way, the windshield wiper motor with 4 terminals also works.

greetings maendy
