Just bought a wiper motor off a 2003 Boxster to see how interchangeable they are with ours. Modern speed wipers is on my list of things to make the 914 wife-worthy.
Pictures and thoughts once the part arrives later this week. *Looked a Boxster seat belts as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Well, that was an easy install. No surprises at all. My wiring in post #27 (above) is correct. Boxster motor is a little faster, which is more noticeable on the fast speed. And that's good because the 'fast' speed on a stock setup always seemed a bit slow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uNOGzp9HrM The bottom line, in my opinion, this isn't so much an upgrade. It's more just a replacement part that's in better condition than the old original parts. Also worth noting, the video/test uses two different wiper linkages. The linkage can introduce a lot of drag if there's corrosion or old gummy grease inside. The next step here is to overhaul the linkage for a complete wiper refresh. |
