Headlight washers

[turkpolo]

the headlight washers aint working after i tried to get the bumper off wich i couldnt after 3 hours!
can you suggest what can i do abt this matter??

Sounds stupid but is your washer fluid level above a half? They don't work below that level. Also your headlights need to be on

[turkpolo]

lol i know headlights have to be on, i also know that there is a sensor in the washer fluid but where is the washerfluid in the engine bay

Right hand side mate. Blue cap with the windscreen on it

Also check to ensure that the fuse for the washers hasnt blown.

Ha, I never knew fluid level had to be above half for the washers to work!! Thought mine were a bit dodgy - But all is sound now lol

Fluid level must be above 1L, not half way. Considering you didn't know where the fluid was I'm assumin you haven't filled it up before, which would make me assume it's just low level. So try filling it up first.

true say tim. well its been only 3 months i bought the car soo

[Tim_GTi]

Yeh I'd definitely put it down to low fluid then. Check that first. Will save you alot of time!

cheers tim
