So the rear washer jet started revolving with the wiper on the RS4 the other day, along with a sqishing sound inside the car.. The tube through the middle had seized in the shaft and snapped near the bottom, same as the one on the S2 did a while back, so I thought I'd call TPS and order a new jet and tube kit for it.
"Sorry sir the tube and jet used to come as a repair kit but not any more. I can get you just the jet but otherwise it's a new wiper motor"
So Ok, it's not devastatingly expensive at £116 but it is bloody annoying, I ended up buying a genuine audi repair kit on ebay for about £40 which comes with a new shaft and linkage. It was either that or a chinese Meyle motor for about 50 or 60 quid.. Thing is the original motor is perfect, it just needs a new tube and a little grease and TLC
