Default My headlight washers don't pop up :-(

I just realized that they don't pop up and wash my lights when I pull the lever??? I take it they (headlight washers) are supposed to spray when ever I use the windshield washer right???

What can I do to check this before I go to the dealer???

Thanks.

Default You are better off avoiding activating it ....

The headlight washer pump appears to be a "weak link". Mine failed and dumped it's load on the ground the very first time I ever activated it. It's such a common problem in the B5 platform that the dealer had a shelf full of replacement pumps in stock when I took it in.
