just noticed ever since my intercooler was fit at forge my headlamp washers dont work, im quite annoyed as its a bumper off job and im miles away from forge!!! any idea could it be something simple?? how do they work??

When your lights are on, and you use the windscreen fluid they'll automatically pop up.

With the 6N2 GTi, if the fluid is down lower thn litre, they won't work. This may be the case with the 9N3 also?

yes the pump is only driven if the desired water level is present, so try filling that up first, failing that, its just gonna be as they aint plugged back in, cant see it being anything else

when forge fitted mine they told me as one of my fogs was broken and left it out, turned out it was only as the bulb was not plugged in the slot properly and the power was not plugged back in

Mine were not working a couple of weeks ago and it was the fuse. Try the horn if that works then it aint the fuse, they use the same one.

Sorry to hear that they're not working, but they aren't removed from the car as part of the install - theres one screw each side that hold them to the bumper and thats it. They aren't disconnected from the water supply at all. Didn't you say the horn wasn't working when you came here, and you asked me to check the connections while the bumper was off(they were connected fine BTW) so maybe its the fuse as the last poster said ?

It was the fuse cheers for your help, vw fook up once again said my horn was faulty! I didnt think to check the fuse as the relay was clicking!

atleast they are working again now chris

i know it though i would have had to remove the bumper!! so fixed two things at once bonus!!

Funny how the wipers still worked when they are ment to be on the same fuse. The relay was still clicking for me too.
