wanderinghand Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Had my GTI now for around 4 months and absolutely love it. Engine is a peach, handling is just superb with amazing feedback (lift-off oversteer has never been so fun!), comfort is second-to-none in the class, practicality is perfect etc etc. In short, I've never made a better car-buying decision and I'd thank all of you here for making the wait so bearable. BUT!!! The thing that has most suprised me has been the longevity of the windscreen washing fluid. I've covered 6000 miles since I took delivery, driving in all sorts of conditions and particularly on the motorway in the winter, when salt, spray and grime would clog up a windscreen in seconds. Yet I STILL haven't had to re-fill my washer bottle!!! It's absolutely incredible and just one of the small things that make this such a great car!

Metalex Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Damn! You mean I have to wait thousands of miles before finding out whether my low washer fluid warning light works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Washer liquid consumption is heavier when Xenons are fitted as they will automatically get washed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy_Driver Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I thought mine ran out fairly fast! unless VW did not give me a full fill - I do have Xenon's though and weather was pretty crap for 4 weeks after I got GTI - its been great now for last few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemod Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I have Xenons and during the winter I was lucky to get a week out of a fill Your right the headlight washers only go every fifth pull after the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redragon Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 unless if your headlights are on. they come out on the first pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
