    My windscreen wipers when set on "int" shudders and stops half way up the windscreen, then a few seconds later moves another little bit and then a few seconds later completes the wipe. Its a common problem on 1990 bmw's
    The second mode works fine aswell as the third (fastest) mode.

    What i want to know is do they check all the windscreen wiper modes or just spray a bit of water on and see if they move.


    Chief,

    Im sure it depends on the tester but if it is found it would be a likely fail.
    You could pick one up from a scrappie for a low cost.

    Its easilly fixed but taking the motor out is the problem.
