Hi everyone, I posted last week my wiper had stopped spraying last week, diagnosed the problem to the littled plastic piece inside the wiper arm which directs the jets of water across the back of the wiper.

Anyway, looks like this is blocked, looks a cheap part to replace, however I tried soaking in fairy liquid, no difference, tried coke, no difference, looks very rusted inside, cars 3 years old in December, any thoughts?

I HATE going to my local Audi, as 1 I used to work there, and 2 their parts dept is a shambles!
 
Might be worth trying Cillit Bang? Failing that also an IronX type product?

I've not even got any fallout remover left, not tried cillit bang, I woulda thought Coke would have been enough.

Have you tried a needle?

The holes are so fine I've not even got a needle small enough, not sure if the blockage is maybe on the bend, just seems a waste to throw away.
 
Have you tried Mike at our parts request system for a replacement part?
