Sanity check here - over the last few weeks I've noticed that several of the washer fluid jets are aimed improperly or shoot so forcefully that they miss the window entirely.

It was not like this originally, and I'm using different fluid than what came at delivery. I even replaced the fluid today with the orange Rain-X kind to see if it had any effect, but no such luck.

Anyone else having this issue?

I am no help. I haven't had to wash my windshield yet.

I haven't had to wash mine yet, but the title of this thread had me chuckle at the thought of hitting the washers and watch it shoot the water over the car.

Not having this issue at all,

I had some fun trying to spray some pedestrians earlier!

It really is that bad. I'll take it in tomorrow and update with the results.

The nozzles should be adjustable, use a sewing needle or safety pin, insert into the end of the nozzle and move to desired position.

I accidently pushed the wiper stalk yesterday on my '15 A3 which forced me to use my window washers. As I did, out of the three per side, only 1 actually hit the windshield, the rest either shot OVER the car or completely to the side.

I was just going to readjust them with some needle point tool - had to do the same with my last Acura too.

I gotta adjust mine too.

Interesting - it should be a quick fix then. It still leaves to reason how the nozzles fell out of alignment in the first place though.

aj6, mine overshoot as well on the Q5 TDI. Got it on my warranty to-do list (but sounds like an easy DIY if I want to go that route). As far as switching to Rain-X Orange, it's a definite no-no in the Q5.

Can't speak to the A3, but FWIW take a peek at this thread: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q5-...antly-2864561/
