Head light washers

[A6Tom]

HI All,

just wondering if anyone would know if there was a way of keeping the washer jets on the out position as i have a blocked jet apparently?
Thanks
Tom

Only way I found was to operat them and get someone in front to place something in between that won't damage the paintwork and hold them open enough for you to gently ease them out once your out of the car.

Unsure if it may damage the motors though...so at your own risk :(

Washer jets work on water pressure the only motor should be the pump.

Just prise it out.

Hi guys
I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but here goes... How do you test the headlight washer system is working , ie I pull the lever in the car and most times just the window washers spray, so wanted to know if headlight washers were working?

my car is a6 with xenons - just been noticing with the sunny weather - not seen the headlight washers in action

thanks

Get someone to stand in front of the car when you apply the washers? :)

They only work on the fifth operation of the washers according to the manual.

With headlamps "on" they work initially, then not for a certain number of " Screen washer applications". This is so you dont empty your washer bottle in a day!

well you wouldn't as per the above replies.

Yup they only work when the lights are on/auto (but on the main lights not drl)
Also the way I found to pull them out manually was to put a suction pad on it and pull. I get lots of toolkits for phone repairs - usually a 10 or 50p size cup with a keyring on the other end. Stick, pull via ring and it's out
