Hi, I need help as to whether my Vauxhall Astra's windscreen wiper motors (or other part) was replaced after a re-spray. I had some damage and so had the car sent to a garage for 4 days but when it came back I noticed that the wipers kept jamming and will only work properly on full power. Can I check the motor serial number to check if it is the right part and year of manufacture? At least i will tell if a different years motor has been used. I presume it is the motor that will cause this problem, unless anyone has any other ideas? I also noticed that a light from the boot is completely missing and could only have been removed by someone. This was obviously a sloppy theft, probably by a mechanic replacing things on his car of for a friend etc. Can you help? I need to know if you can work out the part number of the motor to see if it came with my car originally. Many many thanks in advance.

Its possible the wipers were removed and placed in a different position, all the years in a bodyshop thats one of the least replaced parts.
I did hundreds of resprays on vauxhalls and its usualy when the screen is taken out so they can paint behind it ,also its a possibility that the windscreen fitters have refitted the screen etc
Hope this helps you abit.
