First problem with my A4
Ive had my A4 for about a year now and recently I had to take it in to fix a problem with the car leaking the winshield wiper fluid. The dealer fixed it and the problem seemed to go away since the warning light dissapeared, but about here again about 3 weeks later the light reappeared and the problem is back. Every time I put more fluid in it immediately starts leaking it out. I can see where the leak is and it looks to be in the same place as it was last time. Im trying to figure out if this is a case of bad dealer repair or if all 99.5 A4s have a problem in regard to leaking wiper fluid. Has anyone else had this problem?

I had the same problem (it's a common one)...
The leak is probably near the pump on the side of the second reservoir (under the intake manifold), correct? To properly fix it, the dealer needs to replace the pump and/or the plastic sleeve that holds it.

Re: First problem with my A4
I have had my 99.5 in for this 3 times. They replaced the w/w pump, headlight washer pump, and reservoir. Finally fixed for good now. Very annoying and potentially dangerous to not have w/w working properly.
