Default new b7 owner with a few niggles

hi everyone I brought my friends b7 avant facelift sline 1.9tdi very happy with my purchase

but a few things are bugging me... the rear right passenger speaker doesn't work nor does the little subwoofer in the boot but the left rear door does work, its the factory head unit installed. any ideas on this?

the rear wiper doesn't wipe so im guessing its the motor but it doesn't spray either... it sprays on the front

the engine management light is on but this is from the egr blanking plate would it be worth me getting the one with the hole in it as its cheaper then getting a recode to delete the egr.

12v port is always live so I have to keep unplugging my satnav is there a way to stop this?

number plate bulb warning is on... the bulbs fine but hes give me some thing on a wire which is ment to stop the LED bulb causing the warning.... can I not get LED bulbs that don't cause the warning??


other than that im a happy chappy :-)

beings you haven't gotten a response at this, I'll take a stab. THe speaker that doesn't work could be as simple as its come unplugged somewhere are the speaker just plain quit. Your rear wiper motor may be dead as well, but first I'd check the fuse for that motor as it could just be blown. stick a needle into the jet to clear any stuff that could be blocking the fluid coming out. The EGR, that's up to you. The 12 v port, nothing really that you can do, its' how the car is wired. For the license plate bulbs, I know there are kits out there that will allow you to use led bulbs as a replacement, but I've never looked too far into them. The reason that happens is LED bulbs take a lot less energy to light up, so your car recognizes that and thinks the bulb is blown when its not. do a bit of research on that and see what you find. hope this helps some.
