Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This linkage is designed for Land Rover Freelander 2 models (L359 chassis) manufactured between 2006 and 2014, specifically those equipped with the 2.2 eD4 Diesel engine (2179cc, 110KW, 150HP, engine code 224DT or DW12BTED4).
Setup: Installation typically involves accessing the wiper motor assembly. This usually requires removing the plastic trim beneath the windshield wipers and then unbolting the old linkage from the motor and wiper arms. It is recommended that this part be installed by a qualified mechanic or an individual with automotive repair experience, as incorrect installation can lead to wiper system damage.
Care: As a mechanical component, the linkage itself requires no regular user maintenance. However, ensuring the wiper arms are not frozen to the windshield during icy conditions and keeping the wiper blades clean and in good condition will reduce strain on the motor and linkage, prolonging their lifespan.
