    My Audi V8 headlight wiper on the nearside no longer parks properly. I imagine they work when the windscreen wahsers are activated but the nearside wiper stops in the vertical possition or somewhere between vertical and the horizontal possition that it should park in. The car is 1992 and all the electrics etc. are in excellent condition.

    Can anyone suggest what the problem could be.

    All help greatfully received, thank you.

    As you can guess from not knowing what car it is, i have zero experience of it .

    When my A6 avant was doing freaky stuff like how you describe the internals of the motor required TLC.

    I have no idea if they can be opened up and refurb'd but looking at this diagram Link:- AUDI V8 [V8] (EUROPE) 1992: ELECTRICS: 173. HEADLIGHT WASHER SYSTEM

    There are no elements between arm and motor that would cause issue other than the motor?

    Gupsterg, this diagram looks like what I was looking for.

    If I can figure out the workings, I intend to park the wipers in the correct possition and then disable them.

    I still think it is a problem with the signal that parks the wipers. Is this part of the system supplied by a seperate power line, relay or fuse?

    Howdy ,

    I think this relay is what controls windscreen wipers and the headlight washers?

    Link:- Item 8 VAG P/N 191955531 , relay location 9

    Now link to diagrams may get moderated so please google terms autolib diakom ru audi use the second hit in google result as that takes you to the selection menu.

    First I viewed 1990 V8 Quattro, Fig. 26/28/80 , then altered selection to 1992 and viewed diagram in there as well.

    It may aid you in your ownership to down all PDF's from that site.

    Also view Link:- Item 15 VAG P/N 447 955 532 relay location 3

    Now I also found some info on early VAG models with these relays how to set wipe interval, Link:- http://www.sjmautotechnik.com/troubl....html#intwiper

    Thank you for this as it is very useful.

    How do I download the PDF's and how do you search for these diagrams on the website as I cannot find the diagrams on the website that you have picked out here?
