I know the new one is around 700$ because it comes with the linkage and yes they tend to fail shorthly after. Look up on Rockauto, i know they have remanufacturedmotors for the q7 now.

2008.
I'm in the process of trying to get the cowl off. I had an aftermarket windscreen put in a year or so back, and apparently they overglued... I'm afraid I'm going to crack the windscreen while attempting to remove the cowl.
This is becoming a pain.
Linkage seems to run wonderfully, even with the motor attached, although there is a spot in the middle where it gives much less resistance. I'm assuming this is a bad motor.
Does anyone know of where I might find a motor for less than $300? I was hoping this simple motor wouldn't be THAT expensive.

Do you know where I can find instructions on how to replace it myself?

Found one in a junkyard in Utah for $125.
Works like a charm..
oh, and if you're troubleshooting... the wipers will NOT work with the hood open... FYI..

Please read the entire thread above, it will give you the answers you need.
No, it isn't going to fix itself.
No, it can't be fixed with software.
This is a dirty hands job.
