Washer reservoir

[Ian Dix]

Hi. Hope all are well.  I have owned a 2014 Q5 since Oct 2020.  The warning light came on to top up the screen washer fluid but when tried to do so the filler is showing fluid up to the mesh.  Possibly an air lock? It's the first time this warning light has come on. Any clues on how to rectify this, please.  Ian

Hello Ian,

This sounds like an issue with the reservoir low-level sensor. These are often located in inhospitable places, and can suffer from contact issues.

Air lock? Really don’t think so. 

Kind regards,

Gareth.
