Detailed Description

Cardone 43-3502 is a remanufactured windshield wiper motor for front applications on select 1999-2000 Audi A6, 1999-2000 Audi A6 Quattro, and 2000 Volkswagen Passat models. It is built for vehicles with a 4-pin connector on the listed Audi applications and for Passat applications that exclude washer pump compatibility. This part cross-references Audi 3B1955133B and Volkswagen 3B1955113B for the same application.

As part of the CARDONE remanufactured wiper motor program, this unit is rebuilt to OE performance expectations using tested internal components and a final functional check on the vehicle. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part, making it an earth-conscious replacement choice.

What It Helps Fix

• Inoperative front windshield wipers
• Wipers that stop mid-sweep
• Poor parking position at the base of the windshield
• Intermittent or inconsistent wiper motor operation
• Noise or drag caused by worn internal motor components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, model year, and washer pump configuration before installation. For 1999-2000 Audi A6 and Audi A6 Quattro applications, confirm the 4-pin connector and the listed production cutoff before 12/31/1999. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation and the vehicle does not use hidden wiper blades, adjust the crank arm position on the motor shaft using the vehicle-specific hidden park reset procedure. If the motor does not operate after replacing the washer pump, bench test both components; some systems will not run if the washer pump is defective.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 43-3502 wiper motor is remanufactured to OE standards, with critical components tested before final assembly and function-checked on the vehicle. The process includes bearing service, magnet recharging, lubrication, and solder-point reflow to support reliable operation in daily use.
