S2 History

[Fat Audi 80]

According to my Audi Service Book it says 80,000 miles. Personally I'd do it sooner than that just to be on the safe side but 80k must be OK.

Always 60k in my book

Mine was done at 36k (previous owner) and will be done again at 72k I reckon I like round numbers

I'll change it at 60k then I think, just to be on the safe side.
Also, my wipers seem to be slightly 'off'. The drivers side wiper goes onto the 'a' post??? Any idea's? Is it just a case of repositioning the wipers? or a relay change? I seem to remember a post re this not long ago.

I'd try repositioning the wiper first as it will cost nowt!

If you are referring to the stopping point then the wiper usually just needs adjustment on the splined shaft. (I have never done this on an S2 though! )

Mine is like this..... what happens is that the arm is made of alluminium and once it starts to slip, it wears the splines off. DONT try to just tighten it as you could break the wiper motor arm, and then it WILL start to get expensive! Basically just buy a new arm, or go for one of vagparts aero wiper kits

Which reminds me. Are you coming over this weekend to pick up your bits?
