lol are we really complaining about refilling the washer fluid... it maybe be in a slightly less ideal spot but it's not even remotely hard/annoying.

It really is not a big deal for me. I just find the cover poorly designed. The placement of the reservoir is already poor, but with the cap constantly getting in the way during filling I have to use one hand to hold the cap up and the other to hold the bottle. I'd rather be able to use both hands on the bottle as I have with every other car I've owned.

When an A6 owner resorts to calling the washer fluid reservoir cap a disaster, the car is damn near perfect in my book.

Just 3 days a week working out that arm and no more problems holding a bottle with one hand

Could not have been better said.

Or he has only owned an audi for 2 hours. Or never needed a warranty repair at a dealer.

I honestly mean the A6 is perfect. The gripe about the washer fluid cap was tantamount to a slow news day.

For real complaint action, I visit the threads about transmission woes on the current E-class.

I am hoping it is our servants who are doing complaining. Given that, why would an Audi owner bother to listen to them? Personally, I cannot imagine having to fill my own fluid reservior, regardless of where it's located.

I find the placement of the windshield washer rservoir and the cap very poor. Spills everytime. I'm working on a solution and will keep you informed. Should be under $20 with zero spills.
