Greetings. Thanks for the video. I have a 2008 Audi A6 Avant, C6 here in the US and need to replace the rear blade. Do you have to replace the entire assembly or is there a way to just replace the blade? Thanks so much.
Thank you for this video! Worked great on my 2022 q5. You really have to wiggle the blade out with left and right motions. I used wd-40 and didnt work well but then used garage door oil and it worked. The water spray wont come out correctly. It leaks. Any idea how to fix this?
A few guesses. The rubber gasket around the removable piece is worn out/dried out. So maybe try to soften that up with some armour all or white grease. Or get a a new one, if they are available. Can the rubber gasket/washer be replaced? Like from a plumbing supply store? Get a small wire, like picture haging wire, or the wire inside the bread bag tie, and run that in the jets, they may be clogged. Oops, you installed a new are, so assuming the new arm also includes the water jet part then the gasket should be new. I would say it may be properly seated.

Great video! At 0.36 your washer spray jet fell off! Mine is still on it. I pulled it but it doesn’t move. I can’t get to the socket because of it. Should I pull it off harder?

I'v got a broken fluid tube inside that fitting, have you ever had to replace one, it's a tiny copper rigid one to from the plastic intake. Don't know how it connects inside or what comes as a replacement
Yes, your replacement unit should come with the pipe. Also, Audi actually make repair kits for these motors as they break a lot.

Yes, that's correct. The new one just slips into place and then tighten up the nut - job done. It's worth noting the position of the original arm/blade in relation to the rear window (i.e. where the restiung blade lies on the window) before removing. You can do this using a piece of masking tape stuckto the window under the blade, then draw a line in pencil on the paper along the blade. Remove the arm, and when you fit the new one you have a line to align it with. Please support us - subscribe to our UA-cam channel and spread the word...

Thanks for the video!! You saved my day! Question! My back wiper engages fine and then gets stuck/stops half way into the cycle (on teh opposite side). I can still hear the motor running for maybe seven or so seconds after which it quits and leaves the arm there. If I try again, it will engage the motor but will not move the arm at all. I can move the arm back with my hand while the motor runs, but then it would do the same thing allover again. What could cause this??
Removing is not too tricky, but two people highly recommended!!! Alignment on the refit can be trickier, but be patient and you'll get it. You'll also have to disconnect your plugs on the wiring loom and pull those back out of the way. I expect we'll do a removal video on this, but it's not on the currently filming schedule and so may be a while unfortunately. Best of luck with it!
Hi, congrats for the video. I have a question because of I didn't understand well. (I'm not english native). What did you used to remove the wiper? What kind of liquid is it? something like oil, water, alcohol...? Thanks a lot.
Thank you - glad you like it :-) The spray is not essential, but can be very useful for freeing off stubborn/stuck parts... It's just a penetration spray, aka dismatling spray. There are many brands available, and I use one called Plus Gas here in the UK which I find is good. If you don't have a dedicated penetration spray then WD40 is better than nothing and also helps quite a bit. It just gets some lubrication into the joint and helps it come apart. But can still be done dry if needs be. The spray just helps make it a little easier sometimes :-) Please support us: subscribe to our UA-cam channel and spread the word!

Yes, if it is rusty then get a good penetration spray. We use Plus Gas, but there are plenty of other brands, any good penetration spray should do it. Fill the hold up around the nut with the spray, put paper and a cloth underneath to soak up any leakage ad protect your paintwork. Leave it for at least an hour. Longer is better. Leave it overnight if you can. Then try it again. Try rocking side to side rather than just pulling straight also. Sometimes then can be a real pain and you might have to get heavy handed if it's still stuck hard. There is a chance you can damage the rear screen wiper motor if you do have to get heavy handed, so that is a risk that you may need to take if all else fails. Good luck!
What's worked for me has been to remove the nut from from the stem, flip it over and rethread it a couple of turns. Then, take a pair of adjustable pliers and place one tip under the wiper arm and the other on the upside down nut and squeeze. It uses the nut as leverage and the wiper arm should dislodge.
Same thing happened with mine. As the wiper motor had failed I used drastic surgery and junior hacksawed the spindle off (careful of the glass!). It was so rusted in with electrolytic reaction (steel to aluminium) I had to drift the spindle out in a vice. Took a lot of hammering!
I have older (2001) A4 B5 avant estate and I wanted to ask about the washer nozzle. The washer nozzle in the video it clearly moves with the wiper arm. Should my wiper nozzle move also with the arm or stay stationary?
Hey there. Been a while since I've done much on a B5 TBH, but the logic would suggest it should move with the arm, otherwise the arm would block the spray. But I don't remember offhand TBH, I'd need to investigate. --- To help support us (for both you and others reading this) there are a few things you can do: 1) Please ensure you subscribe to our UA-cam channel. 2) Please give our video's the Thumbs Up on UA-cam. 3) Please help spread the word, the more people who know about us the better!

Have you tried a good penetration spray? Sometimes they can be on really, really tight due to a build up of rust of general grunge. If you can't get it off by hand, and you've tried a good penetration spray then you may have to get yourself a windscreen arm removal tool. They are fairly cheap (sub £10/$10). The basic ones are a two arm clamp with a thread that you tighten which puts pressure on the arm. If you have to use one then bear in mind it may damage the arm itself, especially as it's a bit awkward to get them on to the rear wiper arm. Secondly you should put the nut back on with a couple of turns (loose) so the centre of the tool has something to press against (otherwise you may damage the tip of the wiper motor where the fluid comes out). And finally, worst case scenario is that it is possible to damage the wiper motor if it's really stuck on there bad - but you it may be a case that it's a risk you'll have to take if it simply has to come off. Best of luck!

hi. shall I know the size of the nut ? is it 13?
Hey at the end when you take it off can a new one just go straght on then put the bolt back on?
Thanks
Yes, that's correct. The new one just slips into place and then tighten up the nut - job done.
It's worth noting the position of the original arm/blade in relation to the rear window (i.e. where the restiung blade lies on the window) before removing. You can do this using a piece of masking tape stuckto the window under the blade, then draw a line in pencil on the paper along the blade. Remove the arm, and when you fit the new one you have a line to align it with.

Where can someone get the nut the holds the wiper to the motor?
The best bet for one of those is likely and Audi dealership. They *should* not be too expensive, it's only a nut after all!!

Thanks for the video!! You saved my day! Question! My back wiper engages fine and then gets stuck/stops half way into the cycle (on teh opposite side). I can still hear the motor running for maybe seven or so seconds after which it quits and leaves the arm there. If I try again, it will engage the motor but will not move the arm at all. I can move the arm back with my hand while the motor runs, but then it would do the same thing allover again. What could cause this??
I need to replace my entire A4 B6 tailgate soon... any tutorials to remove it from the hinges ?
Removing is not too tricky, but two people highly recommended!!! Alignment on the refit can be trickier, but be patient and you'll get it.
You'll also have to disconnect your plugs on the wiring loom and pull those back out of the way.
I expect we'll do a removal video on this, but it's not on the currently filming schedule and so may be a while unfortunately.
Best of luck with it!
Hi, congrats for the video. I have a question because of I didn't understand well. (I'm not english native). What did you used to remove the wiper? What kind of liquid is it? something like oil, water, alcohol...?
Thanks a lot.
Thank you - glad you like it :-)
The spray is not essential, but can be very useful for freeing off stubborn/stuck parts...
It's just a penetration spray, aka dismatling spray. There are many brands available, and I use one called Plus Gas here in the UK which I find is good.
If you don't have a dedicated penetration spray then WD40 is better than nothing and also helps quite a bit. It just gets some lubrication into the joint and helps it come apart.
But can still be done dry if needs be. The spray just helps make it a little easier sometimes :-)

Hey there! Sounds like you need a new wiper arm? They will be available from any car parts supplier.

My Audi A3 2007 S-line wiper is hanging over the car and not staying tight on the window. Falls down about 10cm. Any tricks?
Hey there! Unfortunately we are not covering the A3 platform just yet. We are hoping to be able to expand Total Technik to cover additional models, but it's not a cheap undertaking and our expansion will be solely reliant on the support we receive from our viewers.
Hopefully we can cover that model in the not-too-distant future!

Well it is verry useful the video but my arm is really stuck have allot of rust around the bolt and no chance to get iit off ..any suggestion?
Yes, if it is rusty then get a good penetration spray. We use Plus Gas, but there are plenty of other brands, any good penetration spray should do it. Fill the hold up around the nut with the spray, put paper and a cloth underneath to soak up any leakage ad protect your paintwork. Leave it for at least an hour. Longer is better. Leave it overnight if you can. Then try it again. Try rocking side to side rather than just pulling straight also.
Sometimes then can be a real pain and you might have to get heavy handed if it's still stuck hard. There is a chance you can damage the rear screen wiper motor if you do have to get heavy handed, so that is a risk that you may need to take if all else fails.
Good luck!
Total Technik ...i just try myself and nothing changed ...i think i.m gonna deal with a local service or something ...
That was quick! Yes, if it's really bad an you're not too confident with it then might be worth getting a mechanic to look at it for you.
What's worked for me has been to remove the nut from from the stem, flip it over and rethread it a couple of turns. Then, take a pair of adjustable pliers and place one tip under the wiper arm and the other on the upside down nut and squeeze. It uses the nut as leverage and the wiper arm should dislodge.
Same thing happened with mine. As the wiper motor had failed I used drastic surgery and junior hacksawed the spindle off (careful of the glass!). It was so rusted in with electrolytic reaction (steel to aluminium) I had to drift the spindle out in a vice. Took a lot of hammering!
I have older (2001) A4 B5 avant estate and I wanted to ask about the washer nozzle.
The washer nozzle in the video it clearly moves with the wiper arm. Should my wiper nozzle move also with the arm or stay stationary?
Hey there. Been a while since I've done much on a B5 TBH, but the logic would suggest it should move with the arm, otherwise the arm would block the spray. But I don't remember offhand TBH, I'd need to investigate.

dosn't come off ... I've tried anything I could think of 😠
Have you tried a good penetration spray? Sometimes they can be on really, really tight due to a build up of rust of general grunge. If you can't get it off by hand, and you've tried a good penetration spray then you may have to get yourself a windscreen arm removal tool. They are fairly cheap (sub £10/$10). The basic ones are a two arm clamp with a thread that you tighten which puts pressure on the arm.
If you have to use one then bear in mind it may damage the arm itself, especially as it's a bit awkward to get them on to the rear wiper arm. Secondly you should put the nut back on with a couple of turns (loose) so the centre of the tool has something to press against (otherwise you may damage the tip of the wiper motor where the fluid comes out). And finally, worst case scenario is that it is possible to damage the wiper motor if it's really stuck on there bad - but you it may be a case that it's a risk you'll have to take if it simply has to come off.
Best of luck!
Mine had spider web in too ;c)
Yes, they get everywhere!!
