Adjusting Wiper Arm Stop Position with VCDS.

Hello, I'm having a problem with a 2011 Audi A4 B8 where the windshield wiper...
It's hitting the edge because it's going too high.

I was only able to check the upper turning point using the actuator test.
Can the ignition timing be adjusted via VCDS?

Hi,
No, the upper pivot point, like the lower one, is determined by the surrounding drive system and the mounting position of the wiper arms.
Most likely, the windshield wiper arm is not properly attached.

My first thought: Does the wiper blade that makes contact also have the correct size? Some flat blade wipers are also significantly wider than others, even when they have the same and correct length.

Another possible cause: I had the same problem with my Swift. The top end of the wiper blade was lightly hitting the edge of the windshield frame. However, the wiper blades were the correct length. Quickly, I noticed that the wiper arm on the driver's side had come loose and was shifted by one "tooth." Now, the other end of the wiper blade was hitting the trim piece in front of the windshield.

The solution to the puzzle was that the windshield wiper arms were installed upside down. Although they are the same length, the wiper blade is held at a slightly different angle. It's only a few degrees difference, which isn't immediately noticeable. I then swapped the wiper arms. The mix-up must have happened during the windshield replacement, which was done shortly before I bought the car.

Here's another tip for removing the windshield wiper arm without a suitable puller: If you only loosen the retaining nut and then tap it squarely in the center without applying excessive force, the wiper arm will come off without damaging the thread on the wiper shaft.

Best regards, Rainer.

...and especially without finding the windshield wiper arm sticking up or even inside the windshield afterwards.
