Headlight washers & tailgate handle/badge
« on: January 12, 2010, 07:37:04 pm »

Couple of quick questions,

Is it right that each time I use my windscreen washers the headlight ones operate.  I could have sworn I read somewhere they were suppose to come on every 5th use of the windscreen ones?

Also the tailgate badge/handle is failing to return to its normal postion Iie flush with the boot) after opening.  I assume I have to replace the whole unit rather than just the return spring?  Can anyone help with part numbers, prices and or a fitting guide.

Thanks in advance

Rob

Regarding your tailgate handle, My car is in at VW at the moment, as they are replacing the cambelt tensioner and belt. I had exactly the same problem with the handle sticking, so I asked if they could look at it and maybe lube it up  :ashamed:
They called today and said they need to replace the handle  :confused: :confused: :confused:

Might washers on the lights come on every time I spray the screen only when the lights are on.
Is the fifth wash onlt when the lights are off?
