Hi everyone, 2 months since my Q2 1.6 TDI delivery and this weird behaviour of the screenwash is bugging me.
Best way to describe - I pull the lever to start washing the windscreen, wipers start running but it takes 2-3 seconds for the fluid to start spraying and when i release the lever it keeps going. When I just tap the lever for a quick spray, it either does nothing or sprays a little with a good 3 secs delay. When I keep the lever pulled it starts spraying with a delay and keeps spraying 3-4 seconds after i release the lever.
The response is laggy, like when you have an old computer, you start typing on the keyboard, it freezes and then after few seconds letters that you typed start appearing on the screen.
This happens all the time.
Not sure if this is normal for Q2 or Audi in overall these days but I have definitely never seen this in my past cars. I'm used to immediate response from the screenwash, like you tap the lever - it sprays immediately, you release the lever - it stops right that millisecond.
Is this happening on your Q2's as well?
If someone could record a short video showing the lever pull and windshield wash action, that would be massively helpful as I plan to go to the dealer and have it checked under the warranty. However I can already see they're just going to return the car back to me and say it's normal and live with it.
Thanks for any input on this
