Headlight Washers stopped working

[Merlin]

  Hi All,

Guess this is due to the recent icy conditions and me trying to wash the screen with the lights on + frozen washers? Has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you fix it?

Thanks,
Merlin.

use the correct vw screenwash and look at the dilution rate on the side of the bottle.

Hi,
Washers are still not working and it's no longer freezing....ie it's bust. What do I need to look at? Do the headlight washers have their own fuse etc.

Daft question maybe but are your lights on when you try? Cos I believe they only operate with the lights on and even then only once every so many washer skooshes

Yep they are on and I am aware the headlight washers operate once then every fifth wash after that. They are bust, was just wondering if any avid DIYers have had a go at fixing their own? Worth asking the question

Hi, Do you know what was fixed / replaced under warranty? Clues would be useful.

Same thing happened to me -they spotted it in my frst service (i hadn't noticed) and replaced....something...under warranty - i'll dig out the work sheet they gave me when i get home from work and see if they give specifics as my memory is

I fooking hate them washers and wish mine would break. Spend all day cleaning the car and then go to clean your windscreen and a now my nice shiney clean bonnet is covered in poxy washing fluid and stains it. Drives me fooking mad !!!!

Must check myself what happened to mine.

Alan, you can have the washers turned off using VagCom. However as I think it is a legal requirement to have them with factory xenons so not sure where you might stand there.
