Rear wiper and tpms malfunction

[tommygunns]

Are there common problems with the rear wiper not working? If I turn it on it will make like half a cycle and stop. I have to get out and move it a few inches for it to go back. Is there an easy fix for this? Found a new motor assembly for like $65. Also, I keep getting tpms malfunction message. It started doing it before I got new wheels and tires. Afterwards it stopped for about a week, then started doing it again. I go to the MMI and select initialize wheels and it goes away. They rebuilt two sensors and put two new ones in. What else should I check. I already searched for these topics and couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks

What I would do:

If you can, scan with VAG-Com or other equivalent like Foxwell or the ECS branded scan tool. See what error codes you are getting.

Try swapping out the rear wiper motor (Since you already have one) checking all of the connections and ground wires while you are in there.

Go back to the tire shop and see if they can test the TPMS at the wheels to see if they are all working. I think there is a write-up/thread on Audi World for TPMS trouble shooting.

Good luck...

I would agree that you wiper issue is motor related.

As for the TPMS, do you have or have access to VAGCOM? A scan of the car will likely narrow down your search to a bad sensor or possible a bad receiving unit.
