Default washer weirdness, windshild sprayers don't work right away (leaking somewhere)

some time ago they worked fine, sprayed very well on first pull of the paddle, but now when I pull the paddle the windshield doesn't spray till after the light washers go off, brought it to the dealer and they replaced two light washers saying there was a known problem with them but the problem is still there

I've tried a bunch of times to find where the leak could be but can't, anybody had a problem like that?

Default Had this on the A4..

There was a leak in the tube feeding the left light washer...

When the car is not moving... is ther any sign of a puddle on the ground after you wash?

Default Had a similar problem, but it was in the rear. I found the leak after opening

up the driver's side rear latch and the tool box was covered with dry blue wiper juice. Keep looking. Or, since yours is a recently new car, make the dealer find it.

Default I had similar problem in my old car

In that car they had small "valve" which did not let washer fluid to go back to fluid tank. That was damaged by low temperature (freezing). That caused that hose was always empty and it took few seconds to get water to windshield.
