Of recent my drivers side wiper is knocking on the A pillar. Initially it was on faster settings but its even doing it on intermittent sweeps now.

Any ideas on a solution to this?
 
Sounds like a wiper spindle is worn, not sure if its replaceable or a new motor is needed.
 
Is it worth adjusting the position of the wiper on the spline first?
I read that the skoda superb ones are prone to slipping
 
I had an A4 with the same problem the mechanism was worn and no mater how much adjustment I made I could not fix the fault. In the end I replaced the linkage mechanism which fixed the fault.
 
what will i get stung for a linkage?
 
Don't know I got a new linkage off ebay for my A4 which was under £100 but never priced one for the A6. If your handy with the spanners get it checked out.
 
had a brief look last night but linkages for the C6 seem to be a bit dearer,

Wouldnt say im handy with spanners but im not frightened to start taking bits apart haha.

I'll give it a bash.
