Thanks Pete, just been a stolen dads relay so I’ll try that in the morning. I’m not trying to do it in the dark with a torch. im struggling with the Haynes wiring diagram as there isn’t one! So I’m using a Passat wiring diagram as the closest I can find so your colours are very helpful! The only pin I was getting a constant 11.9v with the engine off was with the neg in pin 1 and pos in pin 2 at the wiper motor. cheers!

Thank you. I’ve located the relay and it appears to be clean inside with no evidence of any burning. Though it makes sense to be the relay at fault. I have 4 terminals in the plug to the wipers and only one is giving voltage. I assume 2 are for the varying speeds? I’m going to see if I can rob the relay from my dads car and see if it works

Evening. having an argument with my wipers. They’ve stopped working. I can hear the relay clicking as I engage the stalk, I have voltage at the plug that goes into the motor, but the wipers aren’t moving! I have 2 different wiper motors here and neither work! any suggestions hugely appreciated as I can’t drive in the rain with no wipers anymore 2004 mk1 superb, 1.9tdi awx. 330k miles. Besides this, everything else is working as it should be! thanks

its been a few years now since I replaced my top mounts but im certain they don't have a bearing in them. because of the multi link suspension set up, the strut pivots rather than rotates... im sure its just a solid rubber mount. have you checked the universal joints on the steering column for play. you can see one of them if you get your head down under the pedals. failing that, id firstly be checking all of the ball joints. jack the car up and give the front wheel a good wiggle. if a ball joint has failed it most certainly could transfer back up to feeling through the wheel if its that bad.

Hi, Could someone please help me with the location of the G179 drivers side crash sensor? Im finding conflicting information, some saying its under the seat some saying in the door. Ill be honest, Ive looked in both and I cant see it! but there really isn't much info on the Mk1 superb for this. Appreciate any direction. Cheers.

Thank you very much. This is what I had always assumed, with Cylinder 4 (the one I have a faulty injector on) being by the flywheel. my query came as id read somewhere that VCDS/VAGcom read these back to front??

Evening. after many evenings replacing a worn camshaft, lifters and a load of other bits in the process, I still have an intermittent misfire on cylinder 4. Ive run VCDS and established that this is a faulty injector. Can anyone tell me is cylinder 4 at the front or the back? as in, which is CYL1. I have a replacement coming from Darkside developments but don't want to replace CYL1 by mistake. Thanks.
