    Hopefully someone can help
    My lights washer is not working. The window washer is functioning ok
    Any help would be excellent.
    The washer reservoir has been filled to the max
    Anyone know if its a separate pump for the lights or if there is a fuse?

    How have you tested them? I think the headlight washers only operate with every fifth activation of the windscreen washer jets and even with that they wont come up immediately, the pressure of the water in the washer hose is what lifts the jets out of the bumper so on the 5th activation you would need a spray of at least 4-5 seconds to see the headlights get wet.

    Hi,
    Failed nct. Have turned it on several times. Yes ever 4 to 9 times sounds about correct for them to activate .
    I have filled lukewarm water in and used it all but they still didn’t activate just incase there are some crystals in it however i don't like lights on on the dashboard so the washer bottle is never empty. Normally i refill it every 3 weeks

    To go to vw its 95euro for pc analysis. And then 70 to reprogram or 5-20 if its a fuse.
