Windshield Wiper Arms, Adjusting: Procedure

2018 Audi A5 Quattro Prestige, 2D ConvertibleSECTION Procedure
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 2020 Audi S4, 2020 Audi A4 Quattro, 2020 Audi A4, 2019 Audi S4, and 2019 Audi A4 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

TIP:

If the windshield wiper motor is to be run during the procedure, the front lid must be completely closed, otherwise the power supply to the wiper motor will be interrupted.

-- Remove the windshield wiper arms. Refer to WINDSHIELD WIPER ARMS, REMOVING AND INSTALLING .

-- Switch the ignition on.

-- Activate "one-touch wiping" and let the windshield wiper motor run into its end position.

TIP:

  • Every second time the windshield wiper motor is switched off, it returns to a lower rest position, so that the wiper blade lip tilts back in the other direction.
  • To do so, the windshield wiper motor moves downward past the end position and then goes back up again slightly. This lower rest position must not be used to align the windshield wiper crank.
  • Only use the end position where the windshield wiper motor runs directly into the end position with no under-stroke. If necessary, activate "one-touch wiping" again.

-- Switch off the ignition.

-- Position the wiper arm with wiper blade installed at the wiper axle.

-- Align the wiper blade tip -2- on the lower edge of the windshield -1- to the plenum chamber cover -1- :
