Greetings!

Hi, 

Recently picked up my first Audi, 2015 A4 Avant diesel. So far driven it about 600 miles and enjoying very much. 

Only niggle I can find with it is the window washers. Front passenger side is very sluggish and rear window just shows a little dribble around the jet. Any tips?

Cheers

Hi David

Sounds like blocked jets. They need cleaning out as dirt and grit can get into them. Definitely attend to the rear washer, if that gets blocked in can blow the supply pipe off. Which means that the tailgate trim would have to be removed and that is not easy, and BTW Hello.

Thanks Tony, I will have a look, I am guessing maybe a small pin in the jet to unblock?

You might be lucky in pricking the jets with a pin, but it is possible the blockage will simply be pushed back up the pipe, only to be pushed forward into the jet again by the water. If that happens you will need to remove the jet and back flush it with water to get rid of the dirt.

Thank you. How would I remove the jet, does the wiper arm come off to reveal them?

Now a Haynes manual or similar for this car would be helpful!
