A warning light should illuminate on the dashboard when the washer fluid
reservoir is almost empty. So it may not be that.
Are you in a very cold climate, perhaps? The standard washer fluid that
Audi dealers use has a fairly high freezing point (~20 degrees f). So it may
just be frozen. If that's the case, get the car into a warm garage, empty
the reservoir when it melts, and then put in a more winter-friendly fluid.

There's typically a little book in the glove compartment. In my A6 its
actually under the dash on the driver's side.

My guess is that if you look in there, it'll tell you. Another
thought... and its just a thought - it probably would have taken you
less time to find it in there than to post the question to the group.

IMO you shouldn't be allowed on the road if you don't know where your washer
bottle is located.

I know in the UK the driving test now incorporates vehicle maintenance, but
it doesn't in America

Here in the US the threshold for driving is lower than Europe (a right .vs.
privilege); so the threshold for those allowed to drive reflect the policy.
I bet well over 2/3 of drivers here in the US would flunk basic driving
requirements in Europe.

Very true, and it shows in everyday driving -- left lane bandits,
failing to yield, tail-gating, etc. When I learned to drive 51 years
ago, the emphasis was on parallel parking, and still is today.
Perhaps that is why advanced driving schools are so popular in the
States.

Yes, I admit it, I read my owners manual cover-to-cover the first week
I had the car, even sitting in the car with it to check out Cool
Stuff.....

I am an Audi Geek and proud of it!
