Headlamp washer problem
Has anyone had problems with there headlamp washers not popping up, and know
how to fix it? Mine were fine on Monday night, but today they are refusing to pop up and wash, the windscreen washers are fine the headlights all work ok, could it be a relay or maybe a fuse? Just wondered if anyone else had the same problem, its on a 97 A4 quattro Ronny |

So, check that the washer pump runs and that there are no water leaks. -- Peter Bell (Note Spamtrap - To reply, replace 'invalid' with 'bellfamily') |

My neighbor solved that. He pulls the wash handle (for effect), gives his
wife a wet-wipe, and she steps out and cleans the lenses. He stays in the car and mumbles a few obscenities. Life is good.
