    Wiper fluid exiting front of hood

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Not sure what's going on, but sometimes when I use washer fluid I get spray shooting out from front left side of hood. I open the hood and see that it a bit wet on underside. I know car doesn't have washer sprayers for headlamps, so what else could be the cause?

    I think all of the B8's have headlight washers, not sure if its just the B8.5's though. You might have a cracked hose somewhere.

    I don't see any headlamp washers anywhere. Are you sure?

    My B8 Prem + S4s did not have headlight washers.(Thank God!). But I believe the Prestige models or the B8.5s do. IMHO, they make more mess than benefit.

    Did you use vagcomm? I'd like to turn them off as well. Seems pointless.

    My B8.5 P+ does have them. I did however, also turn them off.

    I did it via VCDS however, I think you can also pull a fuse.

    Follow up question. Are these sprayers supposed to work all the time cause I pull the trigger and nothing happens. They only seem to work first thing in morning.

    they only come on with the initial wiper activation when headlights are on the ON position.
