2007 A4 Avant rear wiper motor
hello all:
I need a rear wiper motor for my '07 A4 wagon. There seems to be a huge price disparity from what i've seen online. can anyone shed any light on this or recommend a reputable vendor?
also, is this a repair i should attempt myself?
thanks in advance for the help.

Yes there is a disparity in pricing, with the OEM typically being the most expensive and most reliable. Check if any warranty is provided.
The replacement itself is straight forward - couple of bolts attaching the motor; most likely problem you will encounter, is the wiper arm being heavily corroded to the motor spindle; that's why I had my mechanic do my replacement and he said that it was a real PITA. I figured I would have him be responsible if the rear window glass broke while trying to remove the wiper arm.

thanks for the input. it's an older car so obv not wanting to spend money unless necessary. there seems to be quite disparity amongst the after market parts as well however. i bought it on amazon, we'll see what happens.
