Wiper arm broken. Purchased new arm from audi dealer and replaced broken arm myself. Once removed, old arm appeared to have been broken previously and welded back together. Windshield wiper motor pin broken. I turned on the wipers and nothing happened. I could hear the motor turning, but the wipers did not move. I was out of town, so I took it to my parents mechanic. He figured it out and fixed it. 
152000 mi MMI system failed, after removing the rear door panels, I found the rear window supply hose, had broke. This allowed the washer fluid to flood the electronic components, below. I have used some fiber optic, bypass loops, to identify the damaged item. I am still in the process of trouble shooting this issue.
