Before fitting my freshly lubricated wiper motor mechanism back into my '79 Bay i thought check the Interweb to make sure all the angles are correct etc. I am pretty sure the motor/mechanism is original and untampered with but looking in the so called Bently manual i found this: Whilst mine, in Parked, looks like this: If i adjust mine, as in the Bently manual it would look like this: I know I am probably being anal about it but i do like to know that it goes back together as VW intended, Oh, and i read this: So, what are peoples thoughts on how the crank position on the motor should be on a RHD '79 Bay? - apart from "chuck it in and drive it"
Long time since I did mine, but I recall Bentley is wrong, and the crank should be 180* from the position in their pic. Others will know for sure.
I set mine up as per Bentley and fell about laughing when I tested it out and the wipers proceeded to clean the headlights
Thanks Mr Snot, that was exactly my thinking. The Bentley manual is probably based on a LHD vehicle, which it maybe correct for.
Your top pic is how it should be for a German manufactured bus LHD or RHD where the wipers park on the right. Bottom pic per Bentley the wipers park on the left.
