Disabling headlight washer nozzles - Passat 3C

Hi,

I have a 2006 Passat 3C in the workshop that's having its xenon headlight washer fluid reservoir empty within 200-300 km.

My question is: is there a way to disable this feature via software, or is it necessarily the case that the hose has to be blocked?

I know that this might not be legal, but it's certainly more illegal to drive with a windshield that's been emptied of its cleaning fluid, as the container is empty and the windshield washing system isn't working.


Greetings.
John.

I can confirm the 200-300 km range, but only on the few extremely salty and muddy days of the year.


To the best of my knowledge, the SRA (presumably a system or process) is hard-coded to run five times.
You can code in a power-on delay and a power-on duration.

I do it by counting the cycles and then pulling the lever for a very short time each time.
That's enough for counting, but it doesn't activate the SRA.

If there's a customer who doesn't want to be counted, reduce the duty cycle.

Lcode indicates the location within the long encoding of the vehicle network control unit (ECU).

I still have the factory settings.
Wait 200 ms.
1300 ms of farting.

As Martin describes it, it seems to be working quite well.
My Golf IV, which has xenon headlights, doesn't have that feature yet, so the headlights always turn on. In the summer, I simply unplug the pump, and in the winter, I plug it back in. Because: If you drive 10 kilometers in snowy conditions with xenon headlights, you'll end up in the dark because there's no waste heat, or not enough of it, to defrost the headlights.

How many liters is the fuel tank capacity of the Passat?

You can also reduce the activation time of the SWRA .

6.5 liters.

And can you imagine how much money you would spend if both cars had SRA?
13 liters, and then at Aral, 3 liters for 10 EUR, diluting it 1:1.


Funny that it's here.

It's probably due to the weather.

The Golf has a 200 ms latency and a 1050 ms response time.

I could record some videos showing when the nozzles activate, at what second [img].

Okay, at least the spray pattern looks the same on my 4-series as it does in your animation. However, I poured 5 liters of stuff from Obi into it in November for 4.99 and I'm waiting for it to start working soon . I'm probably being too frugal .

I'm going to check today to see if the BNSTG has any limitations.
Perhaps we can achieve a 0 ms response time in the summer.

But then I also can't "shoot" those annoying schoolchildren who are running around in the middle of the street .

The SRA (presumably a device or system) is particularly useful when you still have 5 liters of water in it and frost is predicted for the next night.

If you hold the lever down indefinitely, the BNSTG will eventually switch off anyway. Then you have to draw again .

Okay, I've set it to 500ms now, thanks!

There's also the option of having a headlight cleaning system installed, which could potentially be deactivated.

I also disabled the "coming home" function, which is deadly for the xenon headlights, while I was at it .

You mean "Leaving home," which is slang for initiating a phone call or starting a conversation.

"Coming" is like "leaving things on and only turning them off later, even though they were already on."

Yes, exactly that. I always get them mixed up.

Are you still there?

Can you reduce the response time to 0 ms and thus disable the SRA?

No, the vehicle is already back on its way. It rarely happens that we start an engine cold in our workshop (except during engine overhauls) .

I didn't try that, however, it might be possible to set the bit indicating whether an SRA is installed to zero.

I'll get back to you with the results in about an hour.

...always these luxury problems... I know people who would have thrown away all the equipment for weight reasons . I also think that by changing the coding, it can be turned off for the summer. As I mentioned before, in winter it's indispensable in my opinion, because I've been very grateful to have it on several occasions when there was heavy snowfall.

... the ASZ is simply too weak.

In a bow shock, the friction of the atmosphere at the front is very high...
Only these heat tiles keep peeling off.

...I hadn't thought of it that way before, and there's something to it.

Okay, let's get down to business:
It's even possible that the 3C doesn't accumulate snow as easily because its front is shaped differently, and for example, the angle of the "wing" is shallower, so the snowflakes don't hit it as forcefully.
