Screen wash warning.

[ndewar]

My washer bottle ran empty yesterday without a warning light or sound. So when I was in at VW picking up my alloy locking nut (in which wasn't supplied in the car when I bought it from new, but thats another story) I asked them about it. They put it up on the ramps and then said it doesn't come standard on every model and mine didn't have a warning light fitted. Cheeky sods never even filled the bottle for me which was empty.

Is this true or are they fobbing me off. Its and Edition 30 btw

the light never comes on MY55 standard GTI

I think it only comes with the 'Winter Pack' option (which includes heated washer jets also)

I have it and actually wish there was some way to switch it off (after it's warned you). It keeps on flashing up, not good when you're on a long motorway journey, it's quite distracting

Yes. it is yet another cost cutting ploy by VW I was suprised when mine ran out with no warning too How much does it save VW? about a quid? tight ars3s

It is the 2nd most annoying feature of my car, the low fuel warning being the 1st! lol

I think you get it when you have the 'Highline' comp option.

To solve the problem (on a temp basis) i carry a bottle of water in my boot

as others have said, too many warning lights are a distraction as much as anything else! The low-fuel light drives me bonkers, flashing away on the highline, I have to fill up ASAP when that comes on if only just to get rid of the flashing amber

Spot on, I have the winter pack and it does warn you. Its a pain in the a$$ to be honest, and you can easily tell when you run out, water doesnt come out of the squirters.....LMAO

You can keep a 1ltr bottle in an old cleaned out clear plastic can in the boot with 25% screenwash 75% water. I keep one in one of those oil pouches, velcro'd in the boot next to the oil.
