The rear wiper on my A4 2.0 fsi avant has started pleasing itself and working all the time and intermittently and parking to the left in stead of the right and parking itself anywhere on the back screen can someone help please. Also it works normally if the tailgate is up. The steering wheel control starts it in motion but wont stop it and the washer works as normal.

Thanks Steve

P.s Its a 53 plate.

Quite possibly the rear wiper motor. I don't know how much these cost from Audi, but if you are able to fit it yourself, do so.

Hi - I have a 03 plate A4 Avant TDi and this has developed a similar problem, with the rear wiper wiping randomly even when switched off. The wiper motor appears fine. Does anyone know if this is likely to be a steering-column-switch or a computer-related issue?

have the same problem myself, i was going down the relay route to start with, i'm assuming the relay for wipers controls front and rear? seems sensible to start with the cheapest and easiest fix before trying to get the motor out...

although this is on an older B5
