Windscreen Wiper Motor Replacement
Posted
MOTY 2013
only thing i can think of that could be different is swept area, polo is different again too! usually if a part is improved vw will replace odler parts, for example the mk2 wiper motort is now listed for the scirocco. (not mk1, assume due to bracket difference)

171 - mk1
191 - mk2
1h0 - mk3
1j0 - mk4
1k0 - mk5
535 - corrado
357 - passat
etc
also, the 3rd digit can change to show handedness, eg:
1h0 = non specific
1h1 - lhd
1h2 - rhd
1h3 - 5door non specific
1h4 - 5 door rhd(?) not seen any parts that are 5 door specific AND rhd specific, so this is a guess
earlier than mk3 it was slightly different, so
191/171 - lhd or non specific
192/172 - rhd
193/173 - 5door
etc.
the middle numbers refer to position on the car:
1xx - engine
2xx - fuel & exhaust
3xx - gearbox
4xx - front axle
5xx - rear axle
6xx - wheels & brakes
7xx - pedals and controls
8xx - body
9xx - electrics
next 2 digits refer to certain parts of the group:
905 - alternator
919 - engine sensors
955 - front wipers
etc
the last digits are part specific code. letters generally refer to a modification of the part, and 9 times out of 10 different letter = totally different part. sometimes it refers to a supercession, so xxxB can be replacement for xxxA, but not always!
X at the end of a part number refers to an exchange part, so for example 443 615 123 F is a front G60 caliper housing, 443 615 123 FX is the exchange part number for it meaning if you give them one back you gets some moneys in return

No mods at all, I took it off with the wiring plug from the mk3 and put spade connectors on, bolted to the linkage and plugged them into the plug on my mk1, leaving off the mount which is not on the mk3 motor as its on the linkage.smudger1980 said
Does this require any different mods to the MK2 one to make it fit the MK1?entersoundman said
If anyone is interested the mk3 part number is 1J0955119
Cheers for the info mate. Does this one HERE on eBay seem suitable ? Don't want to get the wrong one.
Help appreciated.

Yeah that would be fine. Or If you want the most straight forward go for one with the mk3 plug. Have a look at item number 330905670164 comes with wiring and linkage.so could sell linkage on. Cut the wiring after the plug (ie right hand side)and match the wires up to the same colour on the mk1 plug.

Does anyone know the wire colours for the MK2 or MK3 motor. I have both motors, don't ask! When the Mk2 was wired up it kept blowing the 15A fuse. I just bench tested it out of the car and it runs fine, if i run a wire from the -ve battery terminal to the 53b terminal on the motor and the +ve wire to the 31 or 53 terminals on the motor it runs at the slower and quicker speeds?
I thought i'd read the wiring diagram correctly and wired it up as so:-
- 53a (black/grey)
- 53b (green/yellow)
- 53e (green/black)
- 53 (green)
- 31 (brown)

is the swap still pretty straight forward if the mk2 or mk3 motor doesn't have its plug and a bit of wiring from it, or is it best to just get one with the plug and wiring?

the problem is the pins on the mk2/3 motor are tiny, so tyou really cantr wire it up safely with spades. just pop to a scrappy and cut one off, lots of early 80s to late 90s vw and seat have the plugs you need, just make sure all the pins are there. MK4 for example have the right plug but only 4 pins are used!
vrupper: yep thats what I have in my diagrams, i wonder if the wiring in the car is shorted? I'll try to fig out a wiper plug later and piccy it for you

okay cheers, i'll probably head over scrappy anyway to find a motor with plug and wiring, but would the motor from a 94-99 polo fit as there's a fair few of those in scrappy!

I am using a '2000 polo motor. It was a little fiddly to fit. Instead of the motor being on the right hand side of the spindle like the original, the polo motor fitted to the left. This meant the motor was spinning the mechanism the wrong way. The wipers were going down first instead of up. I ensured that the wiper mechanism started from the left and all was ok. The plug needed to be cut off and replaced with the original mk1 connection.
