It can blow the fuse as I found out a couple of weeks ago!

Can you explain a little more please as mine have stopped working and I have an error code on Vag Com because of it.. Probably due to the fact of running neat water in the washer tank over the past couple of months..  :chicken:

Mine stopped working last week... they were working after the S3 install but then stopped a few days later when it got really cold.  I was running neat VW washer liquid as I forgot to top up with water  :ashamed: :ashamed:

Stupid question i know but is there a fuse panel on both sides of the dashboard ? in other words is there a fuse box in exactly the same place on the passenger side as the drivers side. just dont want to force a panel off if its not meant to come off.

The panel will come off but there's no fuses behind them. Have a look in the engine bay next to the battery box.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
