Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented motor is dedicated to the rear wiper in the Skoda Octavia Mk2 Estate model and is mounted in the tailgate area. It is responsible for driving the wiper arm, maintaining a constant speed and the correct range of motion, which is particularly important when driving in rain, snow, or when the rear window is dirty. Thanks to its precise fit to the Skoda body design, this component works seamlessly with the factory electrical system and wiper mechanism, minimizing the risk of vibrations, jamming, or uneven blade movement.

Key technical advantages

The rear wiper motor for the Octavia Mk2 Estate is designed as an OEM part by Skoda, which means it maintains factory performance parameters and compatibility. The design intended for mounting on the rear of the vehicle is resistant to typical operational loads, such as temperature changes, moisture, or body vibrations. The most important benefits of using this component include:

• secure fit to the mountings and geometry of the tailgate,
• compatibility with the original wiper linkage mechanism,
• stable operation across the full range of arm movement,
• preservation of the factory wiper system performance characteristics.

Selection by numbers and compatibility

The motor belongs to a group of components that can be precisely selected using the OEM part number and available replacement numbers. This identification method helps avoid ordering errors and ensures compliance with the specific vehicle equipment version.
