I think wipers and spray are checked here, the car must have good visibility through windscreen at all times...

Thanks so much! That's a great breakdown and I will definitely do this if it becomes an issue again. So far the humidity is low due to the dry bags and no issues! I am running the air con regular too and even put a humidity meter on the dash..40 -50 % all the time now. Luckily my MOT is in summer👍 Last year it passed and the wipers switch failed as I drove the car home! I swear the car toys with me sometimes, seems to enjoy causing me grief🤣 Cheers!

Thanks for the insight - with breakers, tried every online going and nothing identical... I placed a few humidity absorber bags in the car and since then it has improved, so high humidity makes it worse, which is good for now..it was a guess that has worked. It does go intermittent in summer though but not as much. I will speak to my independent audi garage I use and keep putting alerts out for the part at breakers - I am hopefull that the part comes in , as will need a skilled electrician to repair any issues if it breaks at the moment! Cheers

Hello all Thanks for letting me join the forum! All you like minded good people...my A4 2.7 tdi has a dodgy wiper switch, which I have read online "does happen!". Goes intermittent. Have tried Audi for a new part, but it conveniently has been deleted...this year, none in the UK..they advised to check online. The only one I can find similar ( as mine has all the bells and whistles of distance set and lane assist unfortunately) is a Q5 , same year, same B8..one letter on part number differs! ...just missing lane assist. I never use lane assist so that suits me Surely it would work?? Would a B8 q5 part fit an A4, surely the steering wheel shaft is the same! I have had the same car for 10 years and will go to any length to get a spare!! Thanks all for any advice!
