Default Attention: To everyone with windshield washer problems... or those in cold areas...

So it's been kinda cold recently... and there's been a few windshield washer pump failures posted on the board.

In case you missed it, here's my post on how to <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/224791.phtml">fix this problem</a>.

Permanent cures include:

1) Using windshield washer fluid that is good until atleast -40 degrees
2) Making sure Fuse #37 is a 25 amp fuse

Default Try the not-so-cheap green stuff

Good to -45 F and smells a whole lot better than the Audi stuff!
