Leon cupra slight moan

[Petrol-Head-Pete]

I have a cupra k1 in red 58 plate i am totally in love with it, it does everything i want it to do and has lots of cool gadgets like the handsfree audible command system. however i went to use my washer jets yesterday and nothing came out. i was so annoyed that my car in this day and age didnt warn me that my fluid was low, its such a silly little thing to moan about i know but its a 4 month old car and i would of thought that this would be standard by now.

anyone else share my point any comments welcome.

take your point mate , pretty odd considering the mk1 LCR's have a light and buzzer 2 tell u when ur low.

It's only standard on the MK2 if you have the communication pack as an option (bluetooth)
If you have xenons then your bottle will empty twice as fast as a car with standard headlights!!

It only comes with the car if you have xenons (and possibly winter pack?) as washer jets are a legal requirement for xenons.

i do have bluetooth tho! why do xenons use more washer fluid than standard then. another thing ive just thought of is i dont think my car has headlight washer jets well if it does i haven't noticed them, im sure it mentions them in the handbook

 

[DanGB]

xeons have to have washer jets by law. They spray the headlights every fifth windscreen wash application.

 

[Petrol-Head-Pete]

so you only get headlight washer jets if you have xenons and the winter pack correct? funny cos i had them on my 07 ibiza fr without xenons

 

[DanGB]

yep!

 

[Petrol-Head-Pete]

oh right well that explains it cheers for that mate! so its my own for not buying the winter pack god dam it!

Can you even get the winter pack on a Cupra / K1?

 

[MUFFIN]

NO - Winter pack not an option, something to do with the seats being incompatible with the heater unit - pity as that was the only other thingy I wanted, toasted arse!

Thought not, I know it was listed when I ordered mine but didn't think it was ever physically available.

So have we gotten to the bottom of what option you need to get the low washer warning. I have both bluetooth and xenons and I got the warning the other day...

Is there a way of retro fitting the low washer warning sensor. Would be something some of us might be interested in. would it also require it being enable with VAG-Com?

I think there is a thread on it somewhere so worth doing a search.
