Audi Q5 FY Mk2 Tailgate Window Wiper Motor Regulator 80A955711A

Audi Q5 FY Mk2 Tailgate Window Wiper Motor Regulator is an original component from the Window regulators and motors group, designed for the precise operation of the rear wiper in the tailgate. It ensures stable, repeatable wiper arm movements, which translates into better visibility and safer maneuvering in difficult weather conditions. This is a practical solution for users who want to restore full functionality to the wiper system in their second-generation Audi Q5.

Purpose and function in the vehicle

The tailgate window wiper motor is responsible for driving the wiper arm and maintaining the correct range of motion on the tailgate glass. In the Audi Q5 FY Mk2 model, this component works with the vehicle's electrical system, the comfort control module, and the wiper installation, ensuring:

• smooth starting and stopping of the wiper in the set rest position,
• even movement across the glass surface,
• stable operation in intermittent and continuous modes (according to the vehicle configuration),
• proper cooperation with the rear window washer system.

Thanks to the factory design, the tailgate window wiper motor is matched to the body geometry of the Audi Q5 FY Mk2, which reduces the risk of vibrations, noise, and uneven pressure of the blade against the glass.

Construction and technical characteristics

The element belongs to the Window regulators and motors group, but in practice, it functions as a drive for the rear wiper. The assembly consists of an electric motor and an integrated drive transmission mechanism that converts rotational motion into the working motion of the wiper arm.

Key design features include:

• a compact housing adapted for installation in the tailgate area,
• factory mounting points, facilitating installation in the original body holes,
• an electrical connector matched to the Audi wiring harness,
• a gear mechanism optimized for torque and wiper operating speed.

This configuration allows for maintaining proper system operation – without jerking, with the appropriate blade pressure force against the glass, which is particularly important during heavy rain or snowfall.

Benefits of using an original motor

Using an original tailgate window wiper motor in the Audi Q5 FY Mk2 brings a number of practical operational benefits:

• Factory fit – compatibility with the electrical system and tailgate construction reduces the need for modifications and speeds up installation.
• Stable operation in difficult conditions – a properly selected torque and gear ratio ensure effective glass cleaning even under heavy water or snow loads.
• Consistency with vehicle systems – proper cooperation with factory controllers and switches in the driver's cabin.
• The ability to restore full functionality of the rear wiper without interfering with other system components.

For users who pay attention to the technical consistency of the vehicle, choosing an original solution is a reasonable way to maintain predictable car behavior in daily operation.

Component condition and service application

The offered motor comes from the secondary market, which makes it an attractive cost alternative to a new component, while maintaining the factory design. This type of part will work well both for typical repairs after a rear wiper drive failure and for comprehensive tailgate service, including replacing the arm, blade, or seals around the wiring harness grommet.

In workshop practice, installing an original motor from the same model generation reduces the risk of compatibility issues, which is especially important in vehicles equipped with extensive comfort systems and advanced body electronics.
