Wiper travel


ediddy

Recommended Posts

Hey guys

The wiper travel on my BH5 is irratic. At low speed, it will have normal travel. At high speed (>70km/h), the wiper will go off the windscreen ??? and also hit the body at the bottom of its travel. I've checked the securing nuts and they're tight but the wipers are loose when I move them by hand.

Has anyone come across this before? Something wrong with the motors?

Eddy

Same problem, what Darth said.

Easiest to replace the mechanism under the windscreen:)

I wouldn't say easiest. It can be a prick of a job. New linkages aren't too badly priced either. Don't go secondhand.

The folks who had the issue over in the states (read: 'murikans) had opted to replace the whole shebang rather than pick all the little broken plastic bits...then moogie the good ones on, breaking them in the process. Again, target audience...so I'm not sure whether it's useless products over there, or operator uselessness...but there's next to zero information available locally for this particular issue :-\

Is there a "how to" to replace linkages?

Ive searched but to no avail

Cheers

Remove wipers - lift rubber bung and remove 14mm nuts. Take note of positions on windscreen first, arms are on a spline.

Remove cowl panel. Lost of plastic clips to break here.

Pop the plastic cup off the ball of the middle mounting.

Pop the plastic cup off the ball of the wiper motor. Its probably this one that's broken.

Remove the middle mounting (3x 10mm nuts).

Remove wiper linkage.

Fit new linkage in reverse order. Note the new cups are very hard to pop onto the balls though, a bit of perseverance required.

+1 on linkages

and when lining wipers back up make sure motor has cycled and is in park position

Then if you still have the OE screen fitted there are "line up" dots on the bottom of the screen to align the wiper arms to

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
