Hi,

My 2002 A4 1.8T windshield washer seems to have stopped working. Couple of days ago, I tried using it to clean some bugs of the windshield. The wipers moved up and down but nothing came out of the washer jets. I thought maybe I ran out of washer fluid. So I filled up the reservoir with washer fluid. Still no luck.

Appreciate your advice here.

 

clogged? maybe even frozen? check under the hood and disconnect the hose/tubing that goes to the washers. Hit the washer stalk and see if any fluid comes out. whether ir leaks or streams. Possibly see if you turn ignition on and then have someone hit the washer stalk while you try to hear the pump for the fluid turn on. Id also check for a fuse.

 

thanks for the reply....will do as you suggested and see what happens

 

The pumps on these things go bad often

 

any idea how expensive they are to replace since the car is out of warranty now...

 

I just ran into the same problem and have no pump noise. I looked for a fuse but I am not finding one unless its hidden some damn place :-)

 

Ya, I'm running into the exact same issue. For awhile they were just loosing pressure, and then stopped all together....thought the tank was empty, but it's full. I'll check my pump tomorrow--any ideas on cost if it comes to replacing that???

 

Same issues here. I took a look at the fuse panel to the left of the dash and I could not find the position for the fuse. Does anyone know which position number it is? I would like to check the fuse first...

 

Same problem here as well!! No fix yet...I guess I'll see what the dealer has to say.

 

any resolution here? having similar issues with 2002 a4 1.8t. anyone know what fuse i need to change for the washer pump?
