Noooo, the Golf doesn't now come with a Bidet! :evil:
Anyway, the rear screen washer - might be a good idea to check where it is squirting. :wink: :smiley:
Mine was squirting straight up, in the 12 o'clock position (which is wrong, but I'll get to that in a mo). My high level 3rd brake light is full of water (virtually since day one! :rolleyes:) - but having a shufty through the relevant "official" manual - (unfortunately, not in this thread http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=54324) - I noticed that the correct setting for the rear screen washer was to aim it at roughly the 2 o'clock position, and not 12 o'clock! :shocked: This should stop the high level brake light from getting a drenching, and hopefully help it last longer when out of warranty period. :nerd: :wink: :smiley:
Annoyingly, my car has now had two genuine VW services, AND is due to have the brake light changed under warranty, yet the incompetant tw@ts completely failed to correctly adjust the rear squirter! :angry:

Good idea there actually.
When I had my Leon my rear squirter broke for a while and actually moved with the wiper - which made it wash better - needless to say it only lasted around 6months before having to be replaced :sad: and back to the rubbish squirting.
Now just need to know how to stop people reversing into me :angry:

Nothing new there then :rolleyes:
Quality control not one of their top priorities I think - should all be Civil Servants :grin:
