Update: Do not torque the bolt from the wiper transmission to the wiper motor to 13ft/lbs, it isn’t enough. I don’t know why Porsche specified such a low value but it came loose on me. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d88057FLPMk
In this video I show you what steps I took in order to replace my overpriced POS windshield wiper motor that was in my 2005 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. My wiper motor started giving me trouble about 3 months ago and would work sporadically. After many months of dealing with this F*#&@!^&*^ &%##@* I have decided to finally replace it. This video should help all owners of 2003-2010 Porsche Cayennes and VW Touareg that need a new wiper motor. If you have any questions leave them in the comments section and i’ll do my best to answer them. Good luck!

Worked great. Had to remove it to replace the passenger side air bag as the rear strut bolt is under one of the ECUs in the cowl (Touareg v10).
My wipers stopped working, but I can still hear it as if it’s stuck and can’t move do you have any idea what that problem is ??
Does anyone know why only one of my wipers works? My passenger side wiper doesn't work, only the drivers side.
Hey dan I’m a new sub. You wouldnt happen to know the name or if there’s a part number for the piece under the passenger arm that you stuck the pick tool into? Just used your video to change my motor and realize I don’t have the one closer to the center.
Sorry but the torque for the 13mm nut it not 13 ft/lbs, it's not enought. I need to remove all again. Can you change this note please?
WOW! DITTO to remarks about the NEED TO CLOSE THE HOOD! — you can do a separate video with ONLY that info! THANKS! SERIOUSLY!
Just spitballing. I figure this is similar for the 2004 Touareg. Got an auction unit on the cheap. 100,000 miles, smooth run but tons of tiny problems. The passenger wipers stay in place, the bushings appear to be toast. The driver's wiper works but only when you get to 10mph. So sitting at the intersection, your windshield fills with snow or whatever and you can't really see until it gets going. I've seen posts that claim this is intentional. But I'm sure NTSB would not let VW allow wipers to stop working just because its stopped. So I figure the electronics in the wiper motor are bad. I have fixed bad electronics in other cars I've owned.
big help ! for my cayenne GTS
Is there a special tool that allows you to remove the passenger side, non-drive spindle nut off? The bolt/spindle is free spinning and I'm not sure how thats supposed to come off without a special tool or way to lock the bolt while tightening or loosening.
Wow! Love the narration hahaha! Super informative but also crude :p Love the video! Thanks for sharing!
Great video Dan! My first attempt to replace my Cayenne's 2005 motor was unsuccessful though. Online purchased a Bosch 0390241889 (7L6955119B) which has exact same connections/dimensions/voltage but does not power at the test stage (connector was tested and supplies 12V). Spare motor is for newer models of Cayenne/Touareg but i hoped it will work, now I am going for the exact same motor (Bosch 0390241835/7L0955119K) and hopefully will have this fixed soon!
It is a RHD vehicle so it is the double linkage bracket.
my passenger wiper hardly touches the screen and no one seems able to make it any better
Did you have to code in the new wiper motor?
My driver side wiper arm is stuck on. PB blast didn't work, puller tool was going to destroy the spline if I pulled any harder. What can I do??
Hi Dan, I have a 2005 Porsche Cayenne turbo and the right windscreen wiper is not moving at all whilst the left (drivers side, thankfully) works. Would that mean it's the motor? I also wonder if you have heard of any issues with a jammed door? Cannot get rear left passenger door open from the inside or out. All other doors work fine.
