Harvey is a legend. I don't have specialized tool and I couldn't take that "joint part"( that is stuck) by aplying force and wd40 so I decided to leave it since I only had to replace the arm that was broken. I took apart the replacement arm and attached the spring from the new arm to the old joint, that took a while to figure out best way and needed some force to stretch the spring, but it's doable.

Thanks for the useful video, someone has tried to steal my rear wiper jet and cap that goes over it. They took the cap but the snapped the washer jet and a bit of it is now stuck prevents from fitting a new one

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thanks, I would try a small wire with a hook bent on the end to draw it out or perhaps you could drill it out? :-)

[@josefbalcar8888]

Thanks a lot. The malfunction of my Rear Wiper Motor was in a cold joint where the electronics is connected to an internal wire to the motor. I re-solder it and now it works fine.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Great, glad to here how you fixed yours :-)

Hoping to use this info to understand how to do my Skoda Scout assembly replacement. I'm in Australia $272 for the part. Quoted $250 for an hour's work. Can't afford that on top of the part. So here's hoping.🙏 Thanks for the detailed camera work & all the steady advice. Blessings

[@HatBoyHarvey]

It maybe worth trying to get this from a scrap yard to save even more. Good luck fitting it :-)

[@Henryk946]

Super 👍

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thank you 👍

[@multiban]

THANKS! That was exactly what I was locking for. 👌 The nozzle in on my car is broken. How do I get it out? 🤔 A little screw in the center?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thanks. Just pull it out like in the video :-)

[@multiban]

The nozzle was broken all the way down to the shaft. I managed to get a small screw in an pull it out. Keep up the good work!

[@Tomeeka]

Hi Harvey,can i ask you what could i do if my rear window jet wash nosle is stuck an moving with wiper,does WD40 fix it? Thanks for answer

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Yes, I would brush any rust off frst then use that, let it soak half an hour then re-apply and leave overnight. it then be loose enough to waggle out the jet and dis-assemble the wiper arm from the bracket, clean and re-build :-)

[@garypritchard583]

Has the different motor got a longer spindle? I'm still trying tk figure out why mines not giving enough clearance to stop the spring scraping on the rear window

[@HatBoyHarvey]

There are different motors with slightly different spindle lengths, so you need one for your model year.

[@dimitriy7307]

Вы - мастер! Спасибо

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Спасибо пожалуйста

[@hughgurney]

Fitted new rear wiper motor to my 2011 octavia hatch. Can't seem to get spindle to sit straight through the grommet and blade drags and sticks. Any ideas on setting the spindle perpendicular to rear glass.?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

If the new motor isn't aligning it could be a number of things. First did you fit OE as this maybe why it's not aligning. Also there are slight differences in motor models that I've seen, so it's important to get the exact same one for your car. I would always try to get a reclaimed original, but you have what you have so; I would take it off again and refit it, try to giggle it to seat correctly aligned before tightening. If still no joy then I would try to put some kind of shim under the bolts where needed to align it better. Hope this helps :-)

[@hughgurney]

Many thanks. It is the correct part number and purchased via an Amazon seller. Will try your advice. Many thanks.

[@aleksandaruric5822]

Hi, jet nuzzle is broken on my car and one part of it left stucked inside the hole(thin part). I can't get it out to replace it with a new one, any advice how to remove it, without damaging wiper motor?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

First thoughts would be penetrating fluid, but then it may be totally stuck there so drilling it out and then activating the wash to force the bits out may remove the jet bit, but then can you source another new one or from another car? Maybe a scrapper !

[@MrMorancio]

Hi Harvey, could you please tell me if is it very dificult to replace the widescreen nozzle?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

if you mean the front windscreen - have a look @: kzbin.infoVmKBQ8BQK8w?feature=share if you don't want to take of the scuttle panel and wipers you can bend it a bit to fit new nozzle units. Don't be tempted to try and clean out the centre rectangular nozzle bit as this will IMHO and experience make it worse, so too cheap copies off eBay etc. Fit only OEM nozzles in this instance. They rear just pulls out, but may be seized in with rust - use pliers, grip, pull, remove, clean out pipe and fit a new, one adjust and go :-)

[@MrMorancio]

@@HatBoyHarvey Thank you very very much!! You are awesome!

[@ianwilliams1448]

Mine has suddenly become noisy and only recently blew it's fuse, so I suspect there is some resistance inside or the motor is failing.. It's a good tip to apply copper grease to the splined shaft on reassembly...

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Probably needs changing, but I wouldn't recommend lubing the spindle shaft as these need to grip the shaft to work without coming loose. Grease means the shaft is more likely to round off the splines and the wiper arm no longer functions and the whole mechanism needs replacing. I know they can sometimes corrode on the shaft, but a puller will remove them. Round off the spines and replacing the whole mechanism costs more :-)

[@5eul]

Awesome

[@salehzakaria7822]

The nozzle got broken inside the schaft. Any idea how to get the broken part out, as it’s very small?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

If the shaft broke off presumably the centre hole will now be exposed so some sort of metal hook would now fit down the centre then pull it out. If you can't do that then a small sharp self-tapping screw screwed into the end to then draw it out. :-)

[@maverick4726]

Can you tell how rear wiper works in skoda fabia 2009 i am not able to figure it out nor from owner manual

[@HatBoyHarvey]

I show you from 7:35 in the video, but this is for MK1 and not sure if MK2 is same or different. The motor turns, one way, the large cog which is attached to a lever and swing cam that will oscillate back and forth

[@helgigu4159]

Hi. This is somewhat helpful, particularly in how to remove the motor from the wiper arm. I have a MK2 Octavia Combi with a non-working wiperarm. How can I find out wether the motor is dead or just seized up and in some need of cleaning and greasing up? Thanks :)

[@HatBoyHarvey]

If there is corrosion on and around the shaft then this usually with give signs of seizure, but the internal mechanism can get jammed also. Free up the shaft by attaching something like mole grips, move it back and forth, add penetrating fluid and then thin oil. If no luck then possibly the internal mech has jammed and will need stripping down. Once free you should be able to see if attaching voltage will get the motor working.

[@micultimy91]

Do you know where can I find washing nozzle for rear window for Skoda Fabia Combi Mk1 6y5? I've looked everywhere on the internet and found nothing. I don't want to buy a nozzle like that from salvage yard because the plastic can be brittle as the original from my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

[@HatBoyHarvey]

I understand you want a new one. part no: 3B9955985A (search under images) widely available and the same from 99-14 also fits various yeti octavia superb roomster

Hi where did you get the puller from

[@mumtazzafar1576]

@@HatBoyHarvey thnx for the reply. Can you please tell me how to take the air intake pipe off the turbo. I am am talking about the piece that is behind egr and goes down and connected to turbo with a big clip on it . I dont see any room to even put my hand hand with a plier.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Jack up the car, take the wheel off under-tray and inner liner, take the clip off, tie some strap to the pipe and pull. Basically take everything off that is in the way to get to it and use a long large flat screwdriver for the clip (I seem to remember using a flat angle screwdriver with a bent end) I know it isn't easy and mine is even harder with spring clips where you need pipe pliers. I will look into doing a video on mine when I take the intake manifold off to clean again. Hope this helps :-)

[@mumtazzafar1576]

@@HatBoyHarvey it absoulutely makes sense specially taking the inner liner and wheel off. I am going to apply this method. Probably this is going to be another week cos still its pretty cold outside as this job of taking removing this pipe and finding the leak from turbo side is pretty time consuming. Little bit higher temperatures will probably make the job a little easy. Please do make a video about removing the turbo as I do want to take it off and give it a thorough clean

[@frankiebye]

Another excellent video, quality & quantity is possible 😄. Can you tell me please if my Fabia 2001 Mk1 Classic has a rear washer jet? My car is the real basic model, manual windows etc. I've only had it two weeks so I'm still aclimatising. When I operate the rear windscreen wiper I push the stork forward and can hear the motor but no water sprays on back windscreen. Many thanks for your videos 👍

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thank you so much 😄. I'm sure it does if it has a rear wiper you and can see the nozzle. have a look at my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3uWY3-qfK6apq8 as this shows a common fault for why it is not working :-)

@@HatBoyHarvey You've got my vote!

[@zetnakatel]

How do you remove this plastic back, is there any way without destroying it? I don't have luck with this type of stupid installation. they should use screws. only place when I didn't broke it is small fuse panel, everywhere else I broke it. I watched few videos when people remove it from the trunk and it looks simple you just pull, I was using metal pry bar and it didn't go, hands dont do a thing.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

You have to position your pry tool next to each clip otherwise the plastic mount can break. I use a long heavy flat screwdriver and a torch to locate them. Take your time, once you disconnect a few the rest get easier :-)
