Looks like Volkswagen standardized all golf and polo rear window wiper motors, hence one can interchange between models.
Can anyone confirm this?

Anybody have any problems getting the arm off? I’ve been rocking it back and forth for about 20 minutes now. I used penetrating oil, and it will not break loose. I’m also afraid if I wiggle it too hard, I’ll end up breaking the glass. Any suggestions?
Did you manage.to get the arm off dude. Got exactly same problem and i,ve bent 2 screwdrivers already. And they were thick drivers dude. Put wd on to soak still no joy. Anybody any ideas?
Any luck with taking the arm off after unscrewing nut? Its not budging and i’ve tried wd40 too. It’s just pulling the whole taper. Thanks
