Audi A3 Diesel 2005: Problems and solutions for headlight cleaning system

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2003 Audi A4, I would describe myself as someone who has only minor car experience but I hope I can still help. I went to my local garage and it turns out my problem was exactly the same - the washer fluid level was too low. The solution was pretty simple and inexpensive - only had to pay €25 to have the washer fluid reservoir topped up. To be able to help more accurately, it would help in this case to have more detailed information about your vehicle, for example exactly what error message is displayed.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. My Audi A3 already has 167000 km on the clock. No specific error message is displayed, the headlight cleaning system simply does not come on. But I'll take your advice and see if it's the wiper fluid. If that doesn't help, I'll probably have to visit the garage. Thanks again for the tip!

Hey, no problem, you probably know how annoying things like that can be. I'm pretty sure it might just be the wiper fluid. Just fill that up and then see if it works. It could also be a simple electronic problem that can be solved at the garage if the wiper fluid isn't the case. Hopefully it's nothing serious! Otherwise, the Audi A3 is a really good car, however many miles it has on it. Let me know how it goes!

Yes, you said it, these things are always annoying. But I'm very happy with my Audi A3, despite the kilometers. I'll fill up the wiper fluid and see if the problem is solved. If not, off to the garage. You've really helped me out, thank you! I'll keep you up to date. Take care!
