So, today I have been helping a neighbour that has recently purchased a mk2 F.

He took it for a m.o.t and it failed on a few things,  nothing major..the horn didn't work nor did the wipers, there a a few other jobs to do..rear track control arm and binding brakes (it's been stood for a while) other than that it's a really tidy car.

I managed to sort out the horn problem with a replacement clock spring and the wipers with a replacement (2nd hand) motor.

The neighbour commented that the now working  wipers were noisy and was this normal?

Our wipers are quite loud tbh and I had always thought that it was just another quirk but it got me wondering if everyone has noisy wipers?
