Hello,
I have A6 sedan from 2005. The wiper arms are misaligned. Can somebody measure the distance between the wiper blade rubber and the end of the windshield. Is there any diagram for our cars similar to the one from the picture (it is for Phaeton)?



Thank you.

Adjusting wiper arms
Procedure

Note
If the wiper motor needs to be run during repair work, the bonnet must be closed (voltage supply to wiper motor is cut-off when bonnet is open).
– Remove wiper arms → Chapter.
– Switch on ignition.
– Operate “touch-wipe function” and allow wiper motor to move to end position.

Note
t Every second time the wiper motor is switched off it runs back slightly after reaching the end position, which turns the lip of the wiper blade in the opposite direction.
t The wiper motor moves the wiper arms down beyond their end position and then back up slightly. This slightly raised position must not be used when aligning the wiper crank.
t You must use the end setting at which the wiper motor moves directly to its park position (without returning). Operate the “touch-wipe function” again as necessary.
– Switch off ignition.





Attach wiper arm with fitted wiper blade to wiper shaft and position wiper blade on windscreen as follows:
l Dimension -a- = 10 ... 15 mm
l Dimension -b- = 30 ... 40 mm

Note
Dimensions indicate distance between tips of wiper blades and black cowl panel grille at bottom edge of windscreen.






– Tighten nuts -arrows- for wiper arms.
– Switch on ignition.
– Operate “touch-wipe function” and allow wiper arms to move to end position.
– Switch off ignition.
– Check setting of wiper arms again. Correct as necessary.
– Press cover caps onto wiper arms.
