Does the GTI come with washer level warning?

[ILoveTuna]

I think if you have xenon headlights then it has the low fluid warning as you get the bigger 5L washer reservoir instead of the 3L. Do you have xenons ILOVETUNA?

Indeed i do... 

[Richn83]

You get the low washer warning if you have the larger washer fluid tank, and this comes with having the headlamp washers, with either winter pack or with xenon headlamps.

Mine does come on when there isn't much water left

....I hope you don't use just water in your screenwash system. I've read that what you use is critical for the jets.

My 05-plate 06-build has Xenons, Winter Pack, no heated seats, and gives warning when washscreen is nearly empty. I always carry spare fluid in the car as I got caught out one filthy morning driving towards a blinding sun on a wet and dirty M-way.

Nah, I use the concentrated washer fluid from Sytner VW, diluted with water.

Make sure it is the genuine VW screenwash fluid in the grey 1 litre bottle, rather than the cheap shyte Quantum screenwash which is just meths and will clog your jets - which VW stealers also sell.  The genuine VW stuff will go down to minus 70deg C when used neat, so check.

Did you not check beforehand?

Before every long journey (typically the weekend before and the night before), I check all fluids and top up where necessary. Even one day when I was using the washers almost every twenty minutes or so over a 200-mile drive, I still had a fair bit left.

Before I fiddled with my headlamp washer settings in VCDS, I could empty a full washer bottle in a day!

I had a rant about this when mine ran out, ridiculous that it doesnt come as standard as should highline 

[cmdrfire]

On the GTI highline should really have come standard along with xenons IMO.

Bizarrely I haven't got the Winter Pack, or xenons, but my car still has the washer fluid warning.

....I tend to check now. I always check the coolant level but sometimes forget the wash fluid level.
