Wiper Motor
 
Took the plunge and bought a new one from TPS @£192 incl VAT.
Fitting was £65 from a local Audi Independent.
Such a big difference in performance. Hadn't realised how slow my old motor was until the new one was installed.
Just need to reset the parking position as they do not lay flat at the bottom of the screen. They stop at circa 5 inches off the bottom of the screen.
Can anyone advise if this be done via VCDS?
The wipe is correct though.
Thanks
David :Confused:

The wiper position is set by where the arms are set on the splines of the drive. It seems like the person who did the motor replacement hasnt set them up properly. Just undo the nut under the plastic cover and gently pull the wipers off and replace on the splines at the correct angle. You may have to do it a few times to get it right. +++
