It does not matter which side the steering wheel is - the wiper mechanism is not changed.
Which means in the UK, the passenger gets a clearer screen than the driver

Could be subtle difference between the two such as the angle of the spindles casting to compensate for the screen rake. Or the length of the rods
I can see why your asking. Sadly not had both side by side to compare
Hi, nope, those parts are definitely different and the Leon part won't fit in your Altea and vice versa, no matter which model year.the part number for ALTEA is 5P0955602A and for LEON is 1P0955601A is it the same item?
......
But my question is if the 5P0 is the same of the 1P0 is very similar on the picture.. ALTEA (XL) / TOLEDO III vs LEON
Hi,Right lets have a go at this! i'm useless at writing guides,but here goes!
Firstly these are torx bits and you only need a t30 one to do this,available from halfords!
Then take off your remaining wiper,and the plastic tray,it pops off! (No pics sorry didn't want to risk another £70 on mine )
Then pull off the rubber seal (if you haven't to get the tray off) next undo the 2 little black metal screws either side of the metal panel,as shown by my finger in this pic.
Then grab the metal lip of the firewall and wiggle it out,see pic (It is coming away there but its not very clear!
Next undo the 2 bolts holding the wiper linkage in,again my fingers pointing to one,the others by the spindle itself (second pic)! and the motor assembly should now come out complete!
And then with the motor out,you need to undo the three bolts holding the arm in (pictured but easier with the motor out) and swap for the new linkage.
And then refitting is the reversal of removal,the only slight tricky bit is the motor has a locating lug which is a bit of a fiddle to get into the hole before bolting it in,but you'll see where it needs to go!
So good luck with it,if i can help anymore,give me a shout.
