Hi all,

do your washer jets on front lights come (squirt) on every time you wash your windscreen? is there a way to get this off? it makes a hell of a mess of the bonnet/ front every time!

[Booth11]

No, not every time.  They squirt every 5th press of the windscreen washer stalk.  Agree they make a terrible mess with soapy water running all down bonnet and sides of car, usually 2 minutes after it's just been washed    I hate the bloody things.

Disable them with VCDS or maybe pull the fuse.  Also as mentioned in another recent thread they rapidly drain the washer reservoir.

Your clean car OCD is getting out of control

Will work first press everytime once the ignition is on,and lights on, then every 5 times until ignition off again, VW cant change,only disable or so I was told, enquired last visit to dealers as its most frustrating, especially as I have dsg and use paddles a lot,i always seem to catch the wiper stalk when changing up

That's why many of us have VCDS. So that we can do the things that the dealers can, but won't.

I believe my washers are the first and were set to every 4 after than I modified it to every 6th time. But the heated seats are sooooo good.

Once a day    Lucky if I press the washer stalk once a week 

As the headlamp washers only activate when the headlights are switched on, I try to clean my windscreen when the lights are off, to avoid the dreaded mess.  Still get caught out every now and then though

It's even worse with a white car and blue screen wash, at speed end up with blue stripes up the bonnet!!!

Just what I was going to say. It would not be the first time ive switched my lights off to clean the screen

It will only do it with the headlights on I believe. Just switch to the sidelights for a couple of seconds.
