Headlight washers (at least on my 98.5) only work when the following conditions are met:</P>


1. You hold back the washer stalk for 2 seconds or more.</P>


2. Your headlights are on.</P>


3. The temperature is below 42 deg Fahrenheit.</P>


The washers are for clearing the snow off your lights - not for cleaning them.</P>

hmm thats interesting... my 98.5 (and my friend's as well) needs the temp to be that low. Must have changed in the 99 year.

 

my 98's work at any temp

 

my 98's dont work at any temp, -10 to +100

<P dir=ltr>heh - it seems like most people's washers work just like yours, Boosted.</P>

 

in reply to fixing the headlight washers. i too pulled them up and down and noticed a suction noise,and the pump is leaking where the fluid flows from the windshield reserve to the headlight reserve. how much does it cost from audi for a new pump, and how hard is itt o fix? can u email me ur instructions?

thanks

 

Here you go, these are the instructions I used when i replace mine a year ago. Depending on your car's year, you may not use the pump described in this, but the install is the same.
