Hi mate-welcome to the site.

You may get more help if you let us know a few more details-are they front or rear? Or both? Have they all stopped working or just one/some? Have you checked the relevant fuse? Any minor bumps that may have damaged a wire or dislodged a connection? Any other events that happened at the same time that may seem unconnected?

A scan with VCDS software may show up a fault-see the relevant section of the site, and you may find a member nearby that can help out with this.

Also check for leaks from the rear washer supply pipe. They can come apart, especially in freezing weather and fluid can get into the sensor control box and knacker it.

Hi There..and thanks for the replies.

I think the second one may be the problem. They are the rear sensors, and they have been "intermitent", but now are US.

At the same time the rear washer pipe came off, and now the wiper motor is also US....could be "water"???
