Avantime Washer Fluid Warning and Pump Failure
Summary of the thread
The 2003 Avantime diesel is experiencing a persistent "Washer fluid low" warning despite the reservoir being full, and the windshield washers are non-functional. A potential cause could be a faulty washer pump or an electrical issue, as indicated by the absence of sound when attempting to use the washers. A suggested solution is to have a shop inspect and possibly replace the pump and sensor, which resolved a similar issue for another Avantime owner.

Thanks! I didn't think of the pump. I don't hear anything when I activate the windshield washer. How did you fix it?

No sound isn't good, probably an electrical fault. I'm no expert, but the shop replaced a faulty sensor and the pump. Cost me around 25€, parts and labor included.

Thanks! I'll take it to a local shop. Sounds like it'll be the same issue, probably a bad windshield washer pump. I'll post the outcome!

I had something similar with my Avantime. Check the pump. Even with enough fluid, a bad pump can cause that error and disable the system. Do you hear anything when you try to use the washers?
