Yes, the inevitable rear wiper seize because of the fault that has been there since the beginning that still hasn't been fixed!

 

I don't suppose anyone is breaking a car or has a mech laying around that they are interested in selling?

 

Part number in question is 1Z5 955 711 6 PA5.

 

Does this issue exist on the Audi, or do they have a better part?

If you are capable of swapping parts you should be okay fixing the original, search on here for a how to.

@MicMacHappy to rebuild it if possible, but the bearings are goosed and plastic work gear stripped, can they be sourced?
