Hi everyone, last year i've bought a beautiful 8V with only 40k km on the clock, it has everything I wanted and then some. The previous owner has done some mods to the car which is why i think the headlight washing system does not work.

Now to the worse part, here in Portugal if the car has headlight washing system it needs to work in inspection but I've never seen it work. I have access to VCDS and I've done an auto scan it's down here.

I've also went into 09 and checked the Channels that i could find related to them like Scheinwerferreinigung Headlamp washer system - which was off and i did enable it, the other channels that showed up when searching for Scheinwerferreinigung also had values in them, 1000 in each one, and the one that controlls number of windshield activations to activate headlight washing had 10. left it at that.

what other channels can i check before trying to get this fixed at audi (because they'll more likely remove my sports dials in my Digital Cockpit)?
is there anyway to get vcds to tell the car to use the headlight washing system or just with the stalk?

Although I am a VCDS user I’m by no means an expert, but I do know the headlight wash frequency can be changed via Carista so I’m sure it can be done with your OBD tool.
This can be changed (from memory) to wash the headlights with every windscreen wash down to once in every 200. People often change this because they don’t want screen wash all over the front of their cars and it’s also an unnecessary waste, obviously this isn’t the case in Portugal.

- Check actuations and outputs via VCDS to check to see if you can trigger the washers manually.
- check any related fuses.
- check for any blockages. Disconnect the pipes and see what comes out. pipe runs across the front bumper to the left side corner of the car where it meets the wheel arch.

also check to see if the carpet is wet, or wet underneath at the bottom of the a-pillar

- I have checked the fuse, it is not blown, my car only has 1 for both headlight washer and windscreen washer.
- I have checked actuations and outputs and unfortunatly there is a malfunction regarding the headlight washer system. When doing an output test on headlight washer, i cannot hear anything going on, so it must be dead.

I'm going to take it for a service at the end of september, probably it's just the pump that failed.

Thanks for the help and your service for every post on here helping everyone with their VCDS issues.
