FAQs

What vehicles is this METZGER rear wiper assembly compatible with?

This assembly is designed for Audi A3 Hatchback MK2 models (2004 onwards), Audi A3 Sportback (8PA), and Audi A4 Avant (8E5, B6). It fits various engine types within these models.

What is the length of the wiper blade?

The integrated wiper blade has a length of 330mm.

Does this product include the wiper arm and the blade?

Yes, this is a complete assembly that includes both the rear wiper arm and the integrated wiper blade.

How do I know if this part will fit my Audi?

You should verify that your vehicle model (Audi A3 Hatchback MK2, A3 Sportback, or A4 Avant) and year fall within the compatible range. Cross-referencing the provided Audi part numbers (8E9955205C, 8E9955407A, 8E9955407C, 8E9955425C) with your vehicle's original part is highly recommended.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is generally straightforward as it's designed as a direct replacement. Basic automotive tools and knowledge of wiper arm replacement are usually sufficient.

How should I maintain the wiper blade?

To maintain the wiper blade, clean it regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using it to scrape ice, as this can cause damage.

What if the wiper is streaking?

Streaking can be caused by a dirty blade, a damaged blade, or a worn-out assembly. Try cleaning the blade first. If the issue persists, the blade or the entire arm and blade assembly may need to be replaced.

Troubleshooting

Wiper arm does not move.

Ensure the wiper motor has power. Check the connection between the wiper arm and the motor spline for security. If the motor is faulty, it may require replacement.

Wiper blade streaks or skips across the glass.

Clean the wiper blade thoroughly. Inspect the blade for damage (cracks, tears). If damaged, the blade or the entire assembly may need replacement.

Wiper does not cover the entire rear window.

Verify that the correct wiper arm length (330mm) and model compatibility have been selected. Ensure the arm is correctly seated on the motor spline.

Noisy wiper operation.

Clean the blade and the glass surface. Check for obstructions on the window. The wiper pivot or motor may require lubrication or replacement if noise persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify Original Part Number: Cross-reference the METZGER part number (A1337) and compatible Audi part numbers (8E9955205C, 8E9955407A, 8E9955407C, 8E9955425C) with your vehicle's existing rear wiper assembly.
  2. Remove Old Assembly: Carefully detach the old wiper arm from the vehicle's wiper motor spline. This may involve releasing a clip or screw.
  3. Install New Arm: Position the new METZGER wiper arm onto the motor spline and secure it firmly.
  4. Attach Blade (if separate): If the blade is not pre-attached, slide the 330mm blade onto the arm until it clicks into place.
  5. Test Operation: Manually move the wiper to its park position and then operate the vehicle's rear wiper controls to ensure smooth and full coverage.
