hi, just coming home in the rain and my drivers side wiper stuck in the up position, i got out and freed it but it moves very slowly and gets under the passenger side wiper if it comes up at all. i'm gonna look tomoz at it and was wondering if anyone knew if its just 1 motor that controls the 2 wiper arms or is it 2 motors that control 1 each...
thanx in advance

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.A bit of web searching suggests that it's a single motor which (on certain models) should have been replaced, free of charge, when the car was serviced. e.g. see here:

There are also plenty of web references which suggest that the linkage has a habit of becoming jammed. e.g. see here:

i only bought the car in 2007 and that's when the 1st link on buenchico's answer was put on the web. i will take it to my local dealer tomoz even though i purchased it from a long way away from me and was originally bought from new about 300 miles away. it should be ok to go to local dealer shouldn't it.
i just spoke to audi and there isn't any outstanding recall on my a3.
they have said linkage or wiper arm, told me to swap the arms over and see if they work, if not its the linkage. if it works then its the arm.
at least they give me some advice this time...
thanks anyway, i think it'll be the linkage as its the more expensive of the 2.
