w124 wiper motor mech fault

[Deleted member 26392]

As I only drive the 300ce in the summer months when its dry, my window wiper is now bitterly slow and really only works on one speed... the cars not coming out to play until the summer but im thinking I should get a replacement from a breakers on ebay.. or on here if cheap enough!

What do people recommend... just get a motor only or also get a new mecanisim bity as well?

Try lubricating first if it has a plastic cover… Maintenance viper on a Mercedes R129 - YouTube
Does the intermittent setting work ok?

Thanks dec. Thsts worth a go.

The intermittent setting works and is only slightly faster than the 1st on setting. The fast speed doesnt work at all as the wiper seems to get stuck trying too go fast!

If you find that you need another motor or mechanism I've got a few here.

Also, what about a low charge in the car battery, that could be causing the slow motor, will the wiper speed improve if the engine is running?... try that after you lubricate the mechanism.

Thabks. Battery new last year and spot on being on a trickle charger whikst csr is in storage.

Im going to try the lubrication first, to see how I get on before opting for new mech and motor as they are cheap enough.
