Wiper Motor Problem

[sgbee]

Hello,I have a 2003 Audi Quatro that the windsheild wiper motor speed has slowed down to slow on all settings.Even stops completley for about 10 minutes,then starts again. Any idea's would be appreciated,Thanks

Hi This is a common problem,you need to dismantle the wiper frame,it is the the spindels which the wiper arms are attached to that have seized in their bushes.A small clip holds the spindel in place,remove it, and with a bit of heat remove the spindel from the bushing,clean the bushing and spindel with fine sand paper and grease well with a waterproof grease
