Simon newton Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hi all, ive got a 2011, Q5 3.0, I’ve recently been having issues with my front windscreen washer, it’s been very intermittent lately, it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn’t, but the rear works fine?? I bought a new pump and it’s exactly the same, the weird part is is when it doesn’t work the rear wiper comes on but when it does work it doesn’t?? Any ideas anyone? Could it be a dodgy rear wiper motor, I changed it for a new one a while ago, could it be playing with the electrics?? Appreciate any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate any help Hi its most likely the control stalk on the steering column, strip the cowling away and give it a squirt of contact cleaner whilst working the arm,[ignition off], if that wont work you will need a new control arm set these are joined to a plastic ring and I believe you can't change them individually.

Simon newton Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Thanks Steve, I’ll give that a go, but knowing my luck it the more expensive way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi if you have to go replacement unit try eBay loads of second hand and aftermarket which are a lot cheaper than the wallet Vampires A.K.A Audi main dealers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
