View 2 RepliesI recently bought an 2005, 3ltr diesel Phaeton (though packed with options) in Germany. I drove it home and was, and am, in awe of the motoring experience.
As a fan of cars I am lucky to own a Opel Speedster (VX 220 in the UK) and a Buick Riviera Boattail from 1972. But the Phaeton beats all of them together!
But......my newly acquired Phaeton failed the technical control over here in Belgium due to the headlight washers (squishers?) not working (coming out of the bumper). Not even with the manual override through the control screen.
Dealer have checked every fuse, replaced on of the batteries which was not functioning properly (and was causing numerous 'power' errors). The car has been with them for two weeks now and I am getting desperate to drive my car.
I have a problem with my 2006 Phaeton. This night I found one of the headlights color is red, almost purple, the right one, the left has no problems. I suspect the windscreen reservoir is leaking, because I have put yesterday 4L of windscreen fluid and now I have this problem. The reservoir is located near the right headlight. I have emptied the reservoir right away and waited for 2 or 3 hours but when I tried the color of the right headlight was the same. How can this problem can be resolved and what exactly may be broken in the xenon system.
View 12 RepliesHow to replace the windshield washer nozzle? If it makes a difference it's the driver side one. It's clogged and I'd like to try and soak it in some stuff to dissolve the clog and/or replace it myself. The dealer was going to charge me ~$150 to do this and trying to see if I can do it myself.
View 5 RepliesToday I was filling the Windshield Washer container and all of the liquid went directly to the floor, that means something is leaking, but I haven't had any warning symbol in the console neither the VAG-COM system, is this a common problem ?, is it too hard to fix it ?, I will assume it should be covered by the CPO warranty ?
View 3 RepliesFixing a jammed headlight washer cover? I know the washer itself works because I see washer fluid on the ground and I can hear the motor whirling. Also when I access the maintenance item on the infotainment center, the left washer cover pops out, but not the right one.

View 3 RepliesThe bumper cover on my car was replaced due to deer damage. I just noticed the headlight washer covers don't retract themselves all the way unless I give them a little push by hand. Can this issue be fixed?
View 1 RepliesEvery once in a while one of the headlamp washer covers will be open when I park the car. When that happens I just push it back into place, but it would seem that there should be some sort of auto-retract spring or something to keep it from gravity opening. Is there a spring that might be missing on mine?
View 5 RepliesWhere to find the headlight washer pump fuse. My owners manual does not list it for some strange reason.
The washer heads both extend OK using the service button, but when I pull the washer stalk only one (RHS) pops out and no fluid comes out, so I am guessing the washer pump has stopped working.
There are threads discussing problems with headlight washers not retracting (stuck open) but I haven't seen anything about the washers not extending. The passenger side works fine but the driver side does not extend. The pump, however, does seem to work because washer fluid flows from under the front of the car. Thus, the sprayer is spraying inside the bumper (probably not a good thing).
When I press the service button, the passenger side opens and extends but the driver side washer cover does not budge. What would be the best way to troubleshoot this problem? Is there a way to access the washer without taking off the bumper? Can the washer cover be pulled open (sounds like a bad idea)?
My 2004 Phaeton has apparently developed a leak with the windshield washer fluid resivoir. Last week the check light came on for low washer fluid. I filled it and now a week later it's on again.
Is there anything in particular that I need to check? I thought I recalled reading about an issue concerning this but I've not found it.
Just got in the car and the washer fluid low warning popped up on the dash. As I'm refilling it and get towards the washer bottle being full I see it leaking out the bottom of the car. The car hasn't had any impacts and it's mild here at the moment so the bottle hasn't frozen and cracked but seems to have just started out the blue. Otherwise, swap the washer bottle? I seem to recall seeing it when replacing one of my horns and can't imagine it's much of a job but you never know!
View 8 RepliesI just bought a 1995 S10 4x4 for my son and the windshield washer pump is not working. It doesn't make a sound and I have measured that no voltage is going to the hot side of the harness going to the pump. The ground tested fine. It was also having wipers issues where they stopped at random places when turned off and the timing was screwy. I removed and resoldered the wiper pulse board and cleaned up the contacts. Wipers are good, but still no squirter.
View 2 RepliesI have these two items removed and before I hit the road with the car I would like to get these damn sensors outta my cluster. What ohm resistors I need for each item? I lost my meter and would really like to not buy another.
View 15 RepliesI have a 2014 Passat Wolfsburg Edition, 1.8 TSI + DSG. When I pull the stalk towards me, the Washer does not work, although the wipers swing after the normal delay. I hear no 'whirring' noise.
I first noticed the issue when I was driving through some wintry weather- the washers had been working, then stopped. I assumed it was out of Washer fluid, so I filled it up, but it's still not working. Weather has been above freezing for a couple days now. I've checked all the fuses and none appear blown.
Which fuse controls the washer, so I can double-check it? How to get at the pump?
The front windshield washer is not working. I can hear the pump running but no fluid comes out. The rear washer works fine.
View 2 RepliesJust bought a 2003 Passat wagon. The rear windshield washer wasn't working: when I used it, the fluid would stream straight back toward the car behind me. Fun for me, but other drivers were not so impressed.
I realized I was missing the plastic cap piece, so I ordered one and installed it. But now the stream just sort of shoots into the cap, and doesn't get on the window at all. I'm not sure if I'm missing another piece or what? The "nozzle" that's on there points straight back, but I don't see how this cap is supposed to "redirect" the flow.
My car is at 63000 miles and the windshield washer just stopped working and wondering if this is covered by warranty? when i press the lever little bit of liquid squirts out and nothing and when i press the lever again all i hear is the motor spinning. Also if this is not covered by warranty how much do you think the dealer will charge to have this fixed?
View 11 RepliesBoth the front and rear window washers are not working on my 2010 Santa Fe...There is no indication that the pumps are working making NO noise..
At times before this, the front was intermittent Where it would work but then all of a sudden now both won't work at all..
I recently purchased a 2009 Camry XLE with 14,000 miles on it. So far so good other than the windshield/dash noise rattle when it is cold which I have searched on found a fix. However the other challenge I am having is the windshield washer fluid is leaking. It is a toyota certified car (warranty for 12 mos/ 12,000 miles) so I figured the 160 point inspection was completed expecting they would have topped off all fluids. I filled the washer fluid to where I could see it in the neck of the container. I walked back into my garage to put away the washer fluid, while walking back towards the car I could see something was leaking from under the car. It was leaking from a hole of the plastic directly under the car that covers everything up so you are unable to look up into the engine compartment. What may be causing this leak? I would suspect about 10 to 14 oz leaked.
