C6 Allroad wiper linkage replacdement spindle?

[Kingston_blue]

Hi Everyone

Sorry this is my first post, and it's a question. I have a wiper spindle that has snapped off with two threads left on it on a 2010 A6 Allroad. It was previously bodged so only discovered when the bodge failed. You can't buy the linkage separately from Audi for the allroad and have to buy a linkage and motor in the region of £300. Has anyone come across anyone selling replacement spindles or that knows of another model which would have the same length spindles (NS)?

I know it's a stretch just looking at what I can do to avoid binning the whole lot for this. I'm trying breakers etc as well, just trying to look at every option.

Thanks if you are able to offer any views, even if it's biting the bullet.

The linkage is easy to swap out.

Plenty of them on Ebay and remember, if the bonnet is open then the wipers are prevented from operating.

This throws alot people after refitting the part as they think that the item is duff.

Thanks Dan2485 they all seemed to be in Latvia or Lithuania and I assumed they may be held up longer because of all the delivery issues from the EU. I'll try that route and see how I go.

Thanks
