Re: E83 Rear Wiper Issues

Quick update. New motor hasn't arrived yet, but the wife took the car to be washed and it started working again (including the wash function). I'm going to see how it goes before doing any more work on it - the motor may soon been on eBay!

E83 Rear Wiper Issues

I need a little help with the rear wiper on our E83. The wiper and washer have both stopped working. I have checked the fuses, and all appear to be OK, so its either the switch, wiring or the motor. I have a strong suspicion that it is the motor as the wife admitted to it not working when she ...

Re: Not The Usual PDC Problem!

Hi

I was wondering whether you ever managed to solve this problem.  Our E83 has been detecting phantom objects at the from of the car.  Having replaced the suspected faulty sensor, it is still doing it.
