Hi All,

Rear wiper on the R32 GT-R stopped working. No washer jet either. Tried a known working switch to no avail. Fuse looks good. Strange that the washer jet doesn't work any more. Used to work fine until last week.

There is a small box just next to the wiper motor in the boot labelled 'amp wiper', will look at replacing it. Still doesn't explain the washer jet not working.

Any tips will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry to strap onto this thread but does the rear sqirter have a separate water bottle and if so where is it located.

Ps. Sold 10 Wiper delete plugs this week.

Maybe one of these guys would give/sell the rear wiper motor to you ?. Just a thought.

Thanks Luke

If I put the wiper motor back in I'll check the second pump up front. It's never worked. Maybe not plugged or motor blown.

Oh and I'll reconnect the tube in the rear too. For a Laugh I was thinking of aiming it to the right to squirt others.

Hey mate, have you tried replacing the wiper motor? These tend to die when brushes wear low. These power jets and blades.. Sorry that's all I know

Thanks for the tip. I haven't tested the motor yet.

There are two pumps on the washer bottle in the engine bay so I thought the rear washer ran off that, but it could be possible that there's a second pump in the wiper assembly.

Anyone have a known working one they want to sell to me cheap cheap? :P

Finally got around to trying the spare wiper motor I got (thank you gtr0321994). Unfortunately still no go. There is voltage at the wiper amp box thing and the plug at the motor. Looks like it's a relay or *shudders* wiring.

4WD relay also died :glare:

Off topic, but does anyone know what this is?

Found in the passenger side guard, next to the jack.

Antenna booster?

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
