OK so i used rainx and had to dump it due to my sensor going off. Now before I knew about the rainx issue I did replace the sensor as well. Does it ruin the sensor? Or can you clean it? I cant get this stupid light to go out. I ohmed both of them out dipped in washer fluid and the appear to work but the warning wont go out. Does anyone know what it should read? Or what module the wires go to test it there?

Can you turn off just the sensor in VAG-com? If so anyone near philly that wants do it?

 

I find it strange that Rain-x would cause a problem. I have added it to the washer fluid in the past with no issues. You can try pulling the fuse - that might reset it. This is a suggestion only since I have not experienced that problem.

 

Quick fix for poor souls who suffered from evil Rain-X. Go to nearest pharmacy, buy two 22 oz bottles of 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Empty your washer fluid reservoir by constantly running the pump for 2 min. Pour both bottles of rubbing alcohol into reservoir. Put a few drops of dishwasher soap in each empty bottle, fill with hot water (I used my instant hot water faucet in the kitchen) - be careful, use thick gloves. Add hot water/soap mix into the reservoir. Drive around a bit to have it mixed, spray windshield (and back window if Avant) for a few seconds until Rain-X stops coming out and your clean soapy mix starts spraying and leave your car for an hour. The light will be gone by then. Use the soapy mix as usual washer fluid (if summer) or drain it immediately (if winter) then re-fill with blue liquid, or any Prestone brand washer fluid. God luck and good speed.

Rosty.
