    Anyone else had headlamp washers not retracting fully after use, mines started doing exactly that after use, wondering if something just needs a clean or replacement parts are needed.
    Haven't had the time to investigate properly yet, just a gentle shove and it returns home as it should.

    Hi. Looks like my TT a water pressure driven system, so perhaps a relief valve sticking. This may assist

    The Audi line on this is people not using a quality approved screen wash causes the pistons to stick on retraction. These are £75.55 and mean removing the bumper, I know some people take them apart and try to clean them but we have to know what we do will work faultlessly as if we spent 2 hours doing it and we failed, we have blown the cost of the new parts which have an Audi 2 year warranty coving parts and labour.

    I am under warranty till August, wonder if they will argue the toss and try and come out with the non approved fluid line.

    Do we have a list of "approved" screenwash? Personally I've never heard such BS as "approved screenwash", it's just blame shifting by Audi to try and worm out of replacing a faulty part.

    It is an official TPI but I can’t dig it out from my iPad at home.
