To help you understand and mitigate the problem, we've put together a photo tutorial that demonstrates how to inspect and replace your cam follower. Use it with our handy repair kit to keep your FSI running strong.

Changing the windshield wiper transmission allows for a secure connection between the motor and wipers, giving you peace of mind that your Audi is safe and reliable.
