If the wipers are on AND the headlights are on the headlight washers will squirt every 10th use of the windscreen washers.
I believe VDCS can alter the frequency...somewhere on Audiworld there will be the coding.
FWIW I use cheap -46C fluid from our local supermarket. Leave lurid blue stains everywhere but it does clean the glass.

Dealer is able to do it. But, I have asked many times and they won't, stating liability reasons. Go figure. I think the headlight washers activate every 3rd washing while the lights are on/in auto????

"I have asked many times and they won't, stating liability reasons. "
Perhaps one might suggest, if they simply stopped selling and servicing Audis and closed the business, they would no longer have any liability concerns regarding the outrageous demands of the owners?
There's also this piece of paper called a "liability waiver" and when liability is real concern, the business world is full of them to address that.

Heck, Bob. I could sue the delearship for allowing the owner to put his car back on the road after it had been fixed for a DWI accident.
You mean, you ENABLED a DRUNK DRIVER to DO IT AGAIN?
Now, that's liability.
Customer signs a work order that says "I want to wash my headlights less often, I need to fluid for my windshield. I have been fully explained and counseled against this by the dealer, I understand it may affect my safety and that of others, but since I own this vehicle it is my decision and my sole responsibility, change the washers to every nth sprary."
For that matter, washer nozzles are famous for clogging from too much car wax getting into them. All kinds of washers. Maybe we should sue the was companies?
There's a line between sublime and ridiculous, too many shops live on the wrong side of the line. By choice.

Called two local dealers, Bayarea, were told by both that they don't carry them. The one on amazon cost $11 and 1 month to ship. Found this here: Audi Parts Superstore | Genuine Parts and Accessories
$3.44 ordered 2
. They carry ZVW 177 904 too.

Wow, all of this talk over a washer fluid. Come to think of it, I have not even used it once on our Audi. It usually is a nice weather car and never had the need to use it....
I am going to have to give it a try just for fun.
