The nozzle on my rear wiper has jammed and i suspest that the washer fluid has leaked into the wiper motor as this no longer works. Does anyone know how easy it is to remove this and then strip it to inspect it? I thought I might dry it out and then put a voltage across it to see if it is nackered.

Anyone done this before? A replacement motor from audi is £83.

Thanks

The rear nozzle gets blocked up with dirt, you might be able to clean it out with a pin, be careful not to break the pin off in the nozzle. If the motor has been wet for a while it might be seized, best to remove and if seized free it up with penetrating oil or WD-40. If you can unseize it then connect back up try.

Alternatively, have you checked the fuse as this would give the same result?

No i haven't - might be the best place to start. I have tried to get to the motor, but am finding it very difficult to remove the boot trim. Any ideas? I know that there are spring clips that you need to undo but i cant find them.
