Hello Forum,

To give you some background on my car:

Audi A6 Avant 3.0 TDI (Year 2006) S-Line

I need to repair the headlight washer system for my upcoming inspection, as it's not working. I didn't even know I had one.

Since I don't want to just disassemble everything like "the Gorilla," it would be great if someone with experience could help me.

The following symptoms have appeared:

* Refilling the washer fluid – OK
* First time spraying – The windshield is sprayed
* Afterwards, the washer fluid almost completely runs out behind the left-side bumper.

Can anyone give me tips on where to look or where to work on?

Best regards,
Robert

Hello,

I'd like to remove the bumper and investigate the leak.
There must be enough pressure in the system for both cylinders/nozzles to open.

Possibly, there wasn't enough antifreeze in it, and a freeze damage caused a crack in the system.

Best regards, Mpire

Motorhaube auf, von einem Helfer die SRA betätigen lassen und schauen wo Wasser raus kommt, sieht man nix von unten schauen, sieht man immer noch nix, Stoßfänger runter.
