    Facelift S3 windscreen washer problem -fixed (blocked jets)

    That's my new fan washers ordered, my last car had them and they were much better and I never had to adjust or had any blockage problems as I have had with the standard ones on my S3. Looks a doddle to fix after viewing the video!

    Same thing happened to my Scirocco before I got the S3, found that a generous squirt of WD40 around the mechanisms to clean out the grit every now and again sorted the problem.
