Hello Heis - To revive an old thread... Did your fix turn out to be permanent? I have had a very similar issue with 2008 petrol fabia mk2 - at first the front window wipers started to slow down and then cut out mid-swish. Like yourself, when I left the car turned off for a while the wipers would be working again for 10/minutes ish, then slow and stop again. Having left the car for a week or so, the wipers now don't work at all. (I took the wipers apart to look under scuttle and inspect motor - the wipers weren't working after I replaced them but I hadn't checked if they were working before I took them to pieces). I have checked the fuses mentioned above and also used a multimeter to measure voltage in DC from the connector to the motor - it was showing around 12V at one contact. Am I right to think that this rules out relay/switch/electical issues and is more likely a linkage/motor fault, or could it still be the relay? Note: The washer fluid skooshers work, but the rear wiper hasn't worked for a while (but sometimes turns on when I go over a bump). I couldn't hear any noise from engine when I had the scuttle off to look. Thanks, F
