Title: Top up washer fluid light keeps popping up
Post by: Nino on 20 January 2013, 12:25

Hey guys, last week I started my car, and about 10 sec after starting the car a beep came from cluster and a message "Washer fluid low" so I first thought ohhhh nice my car has the winter pack. And when I got home I went and got my washer fluid (thinking, nice easy job) however to my supprize as I started to poor the fluid in the bottle it very quickly almost over flowed  :huh:

And I am still getting the message when I start my car. I guessing there is some kind of sensor? And it's gone faulty?

Is this a common problem and is it hard to fix?

The fluid already in the bottle isn't frozen is it?

the level sender is in the bottom of the bottle, they're about 8 quid from the dealers and you might as well put a new o-ring in at the same time for ~£1. Or just disable the warning with vagcom :afro:
