Intended Use and Fitment for VW Golf 6

The motor has been specifically designed for the Volkswagen Golf 6 model, taking into account the tailgate geometry and the characteristics of the rear wiper's operation. This ensures the original arm position, correct operating range, and appropriate pressure of the wiper blade against the glass are maintained.

Its placement on the vehicle is in the rear body section, meaning the component works with the rear windshield wiper mechanism and is adapted to operate in conditions exposed to moisture, road dirt, and temperature changes.

Construction and Performance Parameters

The rear wiper motor in the Golf 6 features a compact electrical design, combining the drive and gearbox in a single integrated housing. This solution reduces the number of mechanical connections, promoting stable operation and minimizing the risk of play in the system.

Key performance features include:

• electric drive optimized for rear wiper operation,
• integrated gearbox providing adequate torque,
• construction adapted for mounting in original body attachment points,
• compatibility with the factory Volkswagen electrical system.

Thanks to these features, the motor works with the standard wiper controls, retaining functions such as intermittent operation or automatic wiping when reverse gear is engaged (if such a feature is present in the specific vehicle configuration).
