hi,my back wiper stops when it wants and wont work for a while then it will and always stop have way across the window,any ideas

Hi I had the same problem at Christmas;  wiper would work then wouldn't slamming the boot seemed to bring it back to life then it stopped again, so i thought about the two two options, sod it  or fix it, before shelling out £75 on a new motor I thought try good old  WD40. I removed the arm  pulled the boot away from the spindle and squirted half a small can in the "hole" since then i have had three weeks uninterrupted use, I have an estate, however I think hatches have issues with leaking  washer tubes that rust the rotor and stator or possibly the bearings that will burn out the stator.

I have to deal with similar damage regularly on the laboratory pumps that I repair, a Stator failure is usually as the result of external additional load  such as rust or grime in the case of the estate.

See the other 300 threads on this subject!!  Rear wiper motor seems to be the most fallible bit of kit on these models.

As above, a very common complaint. Time for a new wiper motor unless you fancy stripping it down yourself.

I have stripped mine down and the motor is fine... its the gubbins inside the plastic case thats the issue

IMHO the lubricant or in my case the lack of it makes the mechanism too stiff  to work in the cold.

I have ordered some teflon grease and going to re lube all the cogs and gears 

See how it goes

Mine stopped working last year for a few months then started again,been fine since.

Had this same problem, taking mine in to dealers to get it sorted on warranty very soon.

is this issue covered by Skoda warranty as a known fault? I think I have got the same issues on my 2007 VRs,
