Is anyone else experiencing an annoying windshield wiper chatter on their 2015 A3 when the wipers are in use?

Brett Melillo

yes god! I think its because they are new.... at least I'm hoping that's the case. At first I didn't know what it was, but then I realized it was the wipers.

Very interesting, a known issue with MK7 Golf which is also on MQB platform.

Yes. I am. I'd say it's 50/50... sometimes they jump, sometimes they don't, and it does not seem to depend at all on the amount of rain.

A little wiper fluid sometimes works, but not always.

Mine seems to have calmed down. I guess it just takes some time. I think it was because they were new.

wash them with a soap solution, that sometimes works

OMG no kidding! I've been driving the car for two weeks or so and it has been raining a good amount in my area.... it randomly will skip a beat....I am really hoping this isn't a permanent issue and that it will "break in" and fix itself lol. Also I haven't gotten a chance to re-adjust the wiper fluid nozzles yet...because the factory adjustments has washer fluid flying way too high and to the side that its getting all over my car!

Brett Melillo

YES! can they be readjusted? Mine don't even hit my windshield!

Same here. Really annoying chatter-actually embarrassing for new car! First swipe across windshield is fine; crap after that. Took to my dealer for adjustment and replacement. Adjustment didn't change anything, waiting on new blades.

I've not had that issue here in the UK. Driven in really bad rain at over 90MPH with wipers and had no issue. Could be the type of wiper that they fit as standard in the US.

I'll be happy to post pictures of my A3 wipers and then maybe someone can post up their ones in the US and we can compare.
