Default Front light washers???

How exactly do you get the front light washers to work?? Do they come up when you wash the windshield? I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks in advance.

Default They only work when the lights are on and you do the quick one pass on the windshield

Default This is how the washers work...

One - Your headlights must be on.
Two - You must pull and hold the windshield wiper lever for about 2 or 3 seconds. That's how to get the washers to work...

Default Accidental comedy

Just after I bought my A4 my buddy bought a passat. On the way back from lunch we were inevitably comparing and contrasting (he is jealous). The headlight washers came up as a difference and everyone had to get a demonstration.

I keep my car spotless and honestly hadn't used the headlight washers (luckily I remembered the lights needed to be on). I flipped on the lights while my buddy and 2 other friends stood in front of my car.

To my amusment when I pulled the sprayer I got to see them all get nailed with reflected isopropyl *heh*. (spray is strong enought to get off dirt and snow)

Now I can't wait till the next person asks "Stand right here or you wont see them work.." spray-spray "You are now officially anoited as an Audi admirer!"

Default don't abuse this priviledge- you'll drain ur reservoir quick if u do it at night

to relieve my constant trips to pep boys to buy more fluid, I turn off my lights for a second when I clean my windshield during nocturnal periods :-)<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=4681"><IMG SRC="http://members.aol.com/lechterbub/sigfile.JPG" border="0"></a>

BTW- The headlight washers shouldn't come on when the fluid is low.
