I'm thinking our Karoq windscreen wiper motor might be faulty, the noise it makes is very loud in the cabin, especially noticeable when it's on intermittent / auto wipe.

 

I appreciate the quietness in the cabin, in fact sometimes it's so quiet friends have asked if it's a Hybrid on battery power.

 

Anyone else noticed the wiper motor noise in the cabin?

There's been a few posts recently regarding poor wiper blades (even on brand new cars) so could it be that?

I'm fitted with Bosch ones - the originals never made any noise or judder, they just started to leave lines in the arc.

 

No, this noise I'm getting is from the motor.

I'll have a listen next time we're out in the rain. Until I just changed the wiper blades for Bosches, I haven't been able to hear myself think, let alone hear a whirring motor.

I have the same issue as you. My wiper blades were rubbish at 5k miles so changed them for Bosch which was night and day different. Problem now is I can hear the noise of the wiper motor which is much louder than any car I've had before. I have no confidence in my local dealership as they will only tell me its normal.
