do your headlight washers still work? Could be clogged if u havent used them in a long time.

Default not sure about the headlight washers, but

I have been using the windshield washer a lot lately b/c I had been driving 200 miles per day.
all of a sudden it doesnt work, looks like I need to go to the dealer

Default also, does anyone smell a very strong scent of windshield washer fluid when they use them?

I felt like I was getting high when they were working before.. very strong..

the service advisor said that audi fluid is just very strong and that if they dilute it to much then it loses effectiveness against getting rid of the bugs
