How to recode washer fluid warning so it doesn't show.. (incase you want to know)
Recode for warning lamps (through 1999 only):
[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Enter 5-digit code from below
[Do It!]
Look at the first two digits in the coding. Add the values for the options together to get the correct coding.
00 - No available equipment
+01 - Brakepad wear sensor warning active
+02 - Seatbelt warning active
+04 - Washer fluid level warning active (may only work with pre-2000 models)
+16 - Navigation System (non-USA models)
Look at the third digit in the coding (Market version):
0 - "Germany" 24 hour clock
1 - "Rest of World" 24 hour clock
2 - "USA" 12 hour clock
3 - "Canada" 12 hour clock
Look at the fourth digit in the coding (Cylinders):
4 - 4-cylinder
6 - 6-cylinder
Look at the fifth digit in the coding (Distance impulse multiplier):
0 - TDI Engine (non-USA models)
2 - Non-turbo Gasoline engine
4 - Turbocharged engine
So, if you want to have Seatbelt warning and washer fluid warning only in a 1999 Canadian A4 2.8, (add 00+02+04 = 06),3,6,2 = 06362.
A complete instrument cluster coding chart which includes 2000 and newer cars is available in the Ross-Tech Wiki.

I wish I had a warning light. It's a surprise everytime I'm empty, usually when I really need it.
Fortunately, I carry an extra gallon of fluid in the trunk. What I really want to do is eliminate the headlamp washer so I don't go through as much. Who needs a headlamp washer anyways?

Simple Fix get this stuff called GOOP the Marine verison of it for sealing. Also a USMC OEF Vet
Remove your washer fluid tank clean it with rubbing alcohol. Put the GOOP on the hole or crack and let it sitfor a day or put it back in very carefully not to mess up the sealant. then lets sit empty for 1 full day you should be good from then on out. Kyle Tolla
