2000 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8t.

The yellow "Windshield Wiper Fluid Low" warning light is constantly on, and I can't get the darn thing to turn off. I checked the fluid level connector to the reservoir and the wires under the fender liner, and everything seemed ok. I even pulled the connector right off and crossed the wires (to trick it into thinking that the fluid level was above it), and it did not work.

My car is a bit different cause the replacement hood doesnt have washer nozzles. Could that have something to do with it? Any idea how to just manually turn off warning light? I checked the wire diagrams, but could not find a specific washer fluid warning light wire...

Any help would be MUCH appreciate.. its very annoying.

Lol thats funny cuz I have no washer fluid in mine and no light is on, haha.

 

Im sure a Vag-com could fix it. Check your blinker fluid that might be low to.

 

try filling it up as high as it will go without overflowing.......

 

i have the exact same problem (00 A4QM) and the damn thing will not go away it stays off if i fill it right to the top then if i use it it comes one and i cant figure it out i didnt notice it until the winter came around idk if it has something to do with the cold or the winter washer fluid?

 

I have the same problem on my 01 A6 4.2

Reservoir is full, but light is on and beeps every time you start the car. What is wrong with this thing???

 

found this on yahoo after a quick google check

You can short the fluid sensor by pulling the wiring harness connector off of the sensor and run a short wire between the two female wire leads in the harness connectors

The sensor can be accessed by removing the driver side wheel and fender liner; the fluid level sensor is about 2/3 down the reservoir.

FWIW, what is leaking is the housing of the washer pump; on 2000 and 2001 A4s, cracked pump housings are fairly common. You can order a new washer pump from the dealer (costly) or from any reputable on line parts store (bimmerparts.com) ... simply pop the old one out and pop in the new pump (and O-ring).

i will keep looking
