They just dont move anymore, audi a4 2002 1.8t ... any ideas before turning to the dealer for a 400$ repair ?

 

i thinking (complete guess) that it is a wiper motor.

Here is a quick thing for you man
How to Replace Wiper Blades on 2002 Audi A4-Step by step with photos-Replace wiper blades.

hope it helps bud

 

I would be checking the fuses first

 

wiper motors are notoriously bad in the B6, went on my old car around 85k

 

B6 A4 have so much problems its a shame, weak time belt, turbo blowing early, Oil burning, and more, such a shame

 

I'm guessing it's a seized bushing in the linkage. That's the problem I had and have seen it a lot. Did they slow down and eventually stop or just stop?

 

Agreed with mpimm. If the fuses check OK and motor tests good then a likely possibility is a seized wiper transmission at one or both of the wiper arm pivots. Sometimes they can be disassembled, cleaned and lubed and sometimes the transmission needs to be replaced. This can happen on almost any car and is not necessarily a fault of the B6 platform.

 

I had the same thing happen to me. Turned out to be the Wiper Motor Transmission (whatever that is) and yes, it was $400 to repair.

 

Just had exact smae problem on my 06 S4. Dealer price for replacement of motors ? $450.

 

I have a love hate relationship with my Audi. Good looking, but she's a high maintenance bitch. LOL
