Hej,

My Mk1 2000 Berlingo started to do exactly the same problem as described by the initiator of the topic.
Could not find an answer from topic, was the certain fault found/resolved.
Will start to figure out mine, keep posted.

I would probably say that the motor brushes are wearing out. If it is this you will find that after a while switching it to full speed first won't work either.

I had very similar problems. There were loads of causes suggested but I simply went to the breaker's yard and found another motor (for £10) and replaced the problematic one. This has now been fine for about 5 years!

I recently had this problem. It turned out to be bad / dirty connection between brushes and commutator in the motor. Took rotor out cleaned surfaces and and works ok. I had to bend tabs back which hold brushes in to get rotor back into place I guess they would snap off if you did this more than once

Thx for the info.
For my own interest, I did remove the wiper-motor and checked the condition:

The brushes are quite worn out, but unfortunately they are not meant to be replaceable ... although it is possible if extremely interested and skilled.
But I just tensioned the brush's springs and cleaned the contact surface on rotor.

Aftermarket new motor costs approx 23€ ... so not that biggy if needed. So far the cleaning helped.
Also, as everything was already on the table, cleaned and renewed the lubricant on all moving parts/shafts + new O-rings on shaft ends:

   

   

   

   

   

So far wipers work again nicely on low speed.

A good bit of 'proper' mending!   If in desperation you need new brushes go to a washing machine service centre - they'll have lots of different sorts and its very easy to sand down the brush to fit the holder.
