If the transmission or linkage is damaged, your wiper action may slow or begin skipping, until eventually the motor spins freely, ceasing wiper arm movement entirely. 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.

Tire pressure monitoring is a convenient feature - when it's working properly.

ECS offers several options to solve this highly disruptive but simple problem.
