I've recently bought a 58 plate Audi A6 2.0TDi SE Auto DSG, lovely car, however... The wipers work when the key is in the ignition and the electrics are turned on but, the minute the engine starts the wipers slow down and then stop completey.. Can anyone shed some light on this for me please prior to me going to an auto electricain or Audi direct and hemoraging a fortune!!!

Many Thanks

Ray
 
If recently purchased, it should still have some warranty on it.

Take it back to the place where you got it from.
 
i'm a trader, i bought it as a buy to order for someone, it will have a warranty on it soon, but i can't go burning warranties on cars that are due to be delivered!!!

Does anything show up on a VCDS scan ?

Hi, the most popular defect is that wiper arm axle gets stuck. Switch on wiper change position in MMI then switch off ignition and try to move wiper arm with hand it must move very easy if it moves with resistance then it is stuck. To solve this you must change wiper mechanism or stymie it and clean axles with sandpaper and then grease it.
 
why does it work ok when then engine isnt running then, this is the part thats confusing me?

Ive spoke to audi and theyve given me a part number. Ive managed to source a wiper motor used for £109, and a friend said he can fit it for £50. i hope this will solve the problem, as the wipers dont move that easy by hand

many thanks
ill keep you posted
