The front wiper motor / arm on my MKIV Golf is very squeaky once the wipers are turned on.Does anybody know an easy fix for this please?

Thanks

either worn/cheap blades, or wrong or no additive in the washer bottle, get a set of bosch blades and some washer fluid additive

Simon it's not coming from the blades. It's coming from below the arm of the blade. I currently have bosch blades and there's plenty of water and solution in the bottle.

Squirt a bit of WD-40 on the back of the arms

Take out the wiper mechanism and clean and regrease all the pivots and surfaces. The grease goes hard and the surface goes rusty.
The wipers and scuttle panel will have to come off but that's easy enough.

I think he read your original post incorrectly!
