Also do a search on the mk5 forum this was a common issue with the mk5 as well. Its just the way it is iirc.
Thanks, Snoopy.  Will do that (not the urologist bit.. :wink:)
Do you not consider it important to get medical advice as living in desert-like conditions with lots of sandstorms may cause irritation to your waterworks? :wink:
must have something to do with the water here.. :undecided: :smiley:

Oh dear!

My engine stopped working altogether eventually! :laugh:

I would say driving it hard or giving it some welli? But once or twice have noticed drips on the back windscreen? I dont use the washer's anyway, so I might drain off the bottle? have you got the winter pack?

I'm gonna get some of that carlack stuff, is it difficult to apply? does the "drip" from the washer just run straight down the window with it applied?

Yes its a very good product, blow's the rain X out of the water< (if you get my drift) No its not difficult just make sure you use a damp microfibor cloth to apply , use the cleaner first leave it on about 5-10 mins then buff off with damp microfiber cloth, then apply the car lack again leave for 5 mins then do the same process again brilliant stuff. The water just beads away last for months too!!  :wink:

Hmm, I might try some of that. I used RainX a couple of years ago and it was rubbish. Only lasted a few days.

Can you confirm we're talking about this stuff before I order some?
