[Sill protection]

Managed to scrape some of the thick sealant of my Octavia sill.

Looks like a white sealant about 2mm thick then overpainted with colour

Anybody know what the 2mm sealant is, product name would also help

Thanks Richard

Hello again, tested motor off the car with independent 12v battery

Ah ha didn’t realise this is canbus
I kinda understand canbus but in theory only, no practical experience
Am I right to assume that everything on the tailgate, bulbs and motor are nodes so if bulbs etc are working ok it is likely the wiring is good.

Yep read that to, tailgate open shows on dash so that switch working

What makes things worse, went out this morning and it worked

Now the bloody thing dosnt

So guess I will have to pull out carpets and trim and trace wiring

Hello, fuse is number 41 and rated at 15a

pretty sure it is correct on and checked fuse

short of stripping out all trim and tracing back loom wiring between motor and switch just looking (hoping) for guidance as to where any connectors are

 

thanks Richard

Hello, thanks for reply

checked the fuse with meter all ok

the problem I have in tracing wiring, there is only 2 inches or so before wire goes in loom

no easy way of tracing back to switch

was looking for any guidance on connectors etc between motor and switch to check

Hello all .....

I have Octavia 2 2011  1.8T

 

Rear wiper has had random intermittent failure for couple of months, finally failed

Taken off motor and taken off cover, all very clean inside 

12 volt battery connected across terminal and motor turns and all gears work

Replaced with lubrication on wiper drive shaft

Still not working, fuse Is good

So ...... possible steering column switch

   Front wipers all ok

   Rear screen washer ok

Any ideas on what to check ? ? ? 

Are there any connectors to the rear tailgate that could be faulty

Any way to check column switch

 

thanks Richard
