Hi im new here.  I bought a 2014 fabia 1.6 estate diesel a few weeks ago and discovered the rear wiper doesn't work. 

 

I bought a brand new motor and wiper arm also checked the fuses but still won't work 

 

I looked at wires in rubber cover and can't see any broken 

 

Can anyone suggest anything else? 

 

Think it might be a job for an auto  electrician 🙄🙄

 

 

Did you get any luck with that? I was going to post a similar thread myself...

I took it to the garage and he got me the genuine motor from skoda costing £200😲 it works fine now.

I had got 1s from Ebay and online that didn't work.

Sometimes best just getting the part from the actual dealer

Hope this helps you

Thank you very much, it's worth knowing that getting the cheaper wiper motors off eBay isn't necessarily a good idea.

Yeah. I had got 2.

1 was the wrong part even tho was listed for my cars year and model. Other didn't work at all

Saying that I have bought stuff from Ebay and it worked fine. Think I was just unlucky.

I see, it happens.

Could I ask if you rear washer was working when the wiper wasn't? In my case neither of them does. I can hear the pump when pushing the stalk but no screenwash comes out.

No my rear washer wasn't working. If u pushed the stalk forward nothing happened but when new motor was put on it started to work.

Garage had said I might need a new stalk but I didn't

Was so glad lol

Good for you :). Thanks a lot for sharing your story, I need to decide how to tackle this in a cost effective way.

Hope you get it sorted.
