    R36/Passat Wiper Issue

    Hey guys,

    Noticed recently that the wipers on my R36 are emitting a loud metallic sound during use.

    When it hits its apex and back down to starting position it makes a sound as if something is hitting a spring (at least that sort of sound).

    Any thoughts?

    Car still has just under a month of warranty left anyhow.

    Cheers.

    Suggest, maybe when your car is running, pour some water on the windscreen with wipers on Auto, then try to find the source of the metallic noise.

    Genuine from overseas is apparently the go.

    It seems nobody likes paying $40 per side for a quality wiper from local dealers.

    Not the arm, just the blade and the insert.
