Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is a 2011-2015 Volkswagen Jetta with front wiper motor application before installation. This unit does not include the washer pump.

If the original system stopped working after washer pump failure, bench test both the motor and washer pump before replacing parts.
