Having a front wiper issue is not uncommon. This is also one of the most usual malfunctions, and not just on the Kia Rio 2. The wipers have indeed become consumables, because they deteriorate quickly and are easy to replace . But the malfunctions can be quite different, and the reasons will vary. It can come from broom , engine , or a electrical concern among others. We will therefore discover the most usual symptoms, and then how to alleviate them.
Complete failure of the front wiper of your Kia Rio 2
The problem is undoubtedly the engine of your front wiper. When you want to be sure, you need to measure the electrical current on the wiper motor. However, this is a precaution that is not absolutely mandatory. The failure was probably caused by the engine. You must in this situation buy a new engine, suitable for your Kia Rio 2 . It is also plausible that the concern comes from broom training . In this situation, make it activate manually. When the latter can move on its pivot without problem, it is that it presents no problem.
The front wiper of your Kia Rio 2 is noisy
A noisy front wiper on a Kia Rio 2 is not a major concern, but it is no doubt quickly annoying. If you ever hear a shrill noise is that it must come from the wear of the rubber blade of the broom. As if you were operating it on the dry windshield. In this situation it will probably have to be changed. When it is a squeaky noise , it is certainly the training which is a bit seized. In this case, it suffices to lubricate it, and the problem will be resolved.
The front wipers of the Kia Rio 2 are not going at the right speed
This time it's a concern that can be problematic, especially during torrential rains and the front wipers are abnormally slow. For comparison, at maximum speed, the speed is about one round trip per second. If they are indeed much slower, the reasons can be multiple. But there is a strong probability that it is the engine which is in question. You can always disassemble components to see what slows down operation. Be careful not to scratch your windshield. It is also plausible that wear and tear on the broom will slow down operation. In this situation, just change the brushes .
