Why have the wipers on the Audi A3 stopped working?

Model: Audi A3 8V, MK 3 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Windshield wipers

If the wipers on your Audi A3 have suddenly stopped working, first check the condition of the relevant fuse, the location of which is indicated in this video. As shown, the fuse is located in the box within the engine compartment, protected by the black plastic cover next to the battery. It is a 30A fuse and is the second from the bottom right column when facing the box.
