Rear windscreen arm

Jon B · Sep 5, 2020

Hi all,

I recently had the rear wiper motor replaced on my B8.5 Avant.

I don’t know if the garage bodged it or I’m just unlucky as earlier this week the wiper arm snapped off.

I can see you can buy replacements reasonably cheaply at £25. Are they easy to fit, any special tools required?

I want to do this as cheap as possible as I’m getting rid in a few weeks when I collect my new to me Audi A6 Avant C7.

Easy enough to do john as the motor has been replaced recently the arm should be easy enough to remove its just one central nut. Its when they have been on for years its tricky, be careful not to loose little jets.

Excellent - cheers! I did take the cap off and thought it might be as simple as that.

Thanks for this.

I got the bolt off OK today. Does the mount twist off or just pull it off?

Pull off straight up.
