Check adjustment window washer jets.
Checking the installation angle of the wiper arm
The check is performed if the wiper blade rattles or makes a crack during operation.
Note: POLO has so-called windshield wipers at the front, and at the newer models also at the rear, whose installation angle is not adjustable.
Required special tool:
Special adjustment tool HAZET4851-1.
Examination
Move the wiper arms to their original position. To do this, moisten the window glass with water, turn on the wipers for a short time and stop them using the switch.
Remove wiper blade, see chapter «Replacing the rubber band of the wiper blade».
Raise wiper arm -2-, put special tool HAZET 4851-1 on it and lock it with bolt -3-.
Carefully lower the lever onto the window pane. The HAZET 4851-1 tool must touch the glass with three points. If necessary, loosen bolt -3-, adjust tool and retighten bolt.
Read off the setting angle from the tool scale and compare it with the prescribed value.
IBIZA front/rear wipers: -4°± 0.5°. POLO rear wiper (unless it's a windshield wiper): -6° ± 2,0°.
Adjustment
Lift the lever off the glass and carefully turn the tool with a 24 mm wrench -1- as shown in the figure. At the same time, hold the wiper arm at the joint with pliers so that the joint is not damaged during adjustment.
Check the setting angle again, if necessary, repeat the adjustment until the prescribed value is displayed on the scale.
Remove the adjustment tool, then reinstall and tighten. Check the installation angle again, repeat the adjustment if necessary.
