306 Front Wipers malfunction

slick2k · 03-14-2010, 04:35 PM

Hi forum. I can't work out why m front wipers keep stopping intermittently. They've just started doing it last week & can stop mid-wipe, leaving me with scary driving visibility. Any help or advice appreciated (motor? or earthing? or fuse? maybe)

Most likely motor.

Just to chuck in past experience of this but my wiper stalk gave me this problem on a 306, just check to see if its loose or feels worn

I've a box o' scrap ones here for 306's

That's what my sisters car was doing last month, thought it might have been something to do with rain sensor! tried the w/motor on my own car but still the same fault so replaced motor, all going no problems

PS. a pug technician also told me to fit a 17" & 19" wiper instead of a 18" &20" which helps reduce pressure on wiper motor
