[A8] 1998 A8 4.2 quattro

 Simple things first is the way to go. Disconnect the motor and check that you have 12v there. Then inspect, clean and lube all the linkage. Can't hurt to do all that maintenaince while you're in there.
 
If you have 12v, done the clean and lube and still slow, then I vote for dirty brushes in the motor. I'm not sure if you can repair or just replace.
 
Good Luck - Let us know what you find out.

Simple things first is where I try to start.  Binding bearings, something in
the way, worn out brushes.  There are plenty of binding places that can hold
the whole thing up.

I'd vote for a bad motor.  Sounds to me like you should check the voltage on
the motor, and if OK, then replace the motor.  Certainly you can check that
the linkage isn't binding while you do that.  If the voltage is not OK, I've
never heard of a wiper control unit, but it sounds like it controls the
voltage.

My windshield wipers have really slowed lately.

Any ideas on where to start trouble shooting?  I have done some searching
and have seen things for the wiper motor,  wiper motor linkage? and a
wiper control unit?

I flipped the wipers up off the windshield and the motion is still
slooooow.

Thanks in advance.
