I've had my current 14' TDI for a month and a half now and my windshield washer fluid light has come on twice. The first time I figured it was because the dealer didn't fill it up all the way so I filled it up. Now it just came on again that I need to fill it up.

This is my first Q5 with head light washers. Are these to blame for using considerably more fluid? I find it hard to believe I have a leak and I feel as if I don't use it too much.

Anyone else find that they are going through washer fluid too quickly?

Same happened to me. Turns out some 'sensor' or plug was draining the fluid out. Brought it in to the dealer and it was a stupid quick fix, so they told me.

In the past at least, headlight washers only wash when the headlights are on.
And yes you get to use a lot more fluid when you wash the lights.

On my 2012 the headlight washers give a squirt every fifth or so time you use the windwshield washers.
