Did some research in the previous Q7 section and it seems the headlight washers were for the S line only after 2007. I wonder if that applies to the current model as well? My window sticker also has no mention of it, nor does any option when building one on the website. Here is a link to that old thread for the curious. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q7-...shers-2886024/

Can anyone show their Q7 having washers?

I really don't think that the Q7 has them in the US. Audis with them always have it listed on the window sticker.

I'm in the UK and headlight washers are standard on both SE and S line models.

My US 2012 Q7 Prestige had them for sure. I've not verified yet on my 2017 Q7 Prestige.

It may be that turning the headlights on is not enough. It may actually have to be sensing that it's dark outside?

My salesman thought they had him but couldn't find them on the 2017. He looked into it and found that they stopped putting him in the Q7's for 2017.

At first I was annoyed if they stopped putting them in. Then I realized that it will greatly reduce the frequency of filling the washer fluid reservoir, so now I'm kind of happy they aren't there.

That's a silver lining in the midst of the disappointment.

What still bugs me is that they have the holes (and covers) there, just so they don't have to get 2 types of bumper (holes and no hole)
