Hi all
I was driving today when it was raining and noticed the rear wiper wasn't moving, then before you know it smoke started coming from the motor and a couple mins later it caught on fire!
I managed to stop and pull over before it became really bad and removed the fuse for the rear wiper so I could at least get home.
Has this happened to anyone else here before? Any idea why the wiper would just stop moving and do this? Lucky my kids were not in the car.
I assume I will need to order a new motor and possibly the plastic moulding when I know the extent of the damage. My car is a A3 2.0 TFSI Sportback.
