1999 A6 Avant Rear Hatch Wiper arm.
(the tiny blade)
Ours cracked and broke in the cold last week.
I'll check the dealer this Monday, but anyone have one they want to get rid of?

hey iain - i would pull the cv and see if you've nicked or bent the
toothed abs ring on the end of the axle shaft. ime they're really easy
to damage when removing / reinstalling.
'toothed ring' actually isn't the best description, it's more like a
band with windows cut in it that slips over the end of the axle, into
the hub. you'll know it when you see it. it's what the abs sensor is
sensing.

came from a german parts specialist all the plugs were the same and fits great,
the only thing i can think of is that maybe i have grease and dirt on the abs
ring on the driveshaft.

Well, I got my car started and took it to Audi ...
turns out two cylinders are very bad and another is weak.
I had asked a few months ago about the smoke at 65 mph
which should be nothing for an Audi on the highway
(and not having ever had an Audi act that way before) ....
so the previous owner
the Audi tech in Tucson must have know the cylinders were
bad ....
Someone in the shop offered to buy it (it is apart and I would
have had to pay to put it back together) for $1,000 PLUS
pay off my $600 to have it analyzed in the shop.
So I am now without a car again ... it had been below
zero here and my hubby's car (Chevy S10) has no heater.
I just ordered one of those heaters that wires directly
to battery
http://hitches4less.com/heater-fan.html
I have a tool a friend made years ago from a stethoscope
with a diaphram extention that I used to use to listen
to engine chambers ... PACKED AWAY IN STORAGE
with the rest of our belongings ... had I used that
I would not have bought this particular car.
Another one of life's lessons.
And the beat goes on . . . Fay

Looks like only newer Audi's covered, but can come in real handy when
working on something unfamiliar, some of the procedures are very
detailed, others, not so much.
