I have bi-xenons, which I assume also means that I have headlight washers. I certainly have the cut-outs in the front bumper for them.
However I understood they should operate on the 1st and subsequent 5th time the windscreen wash is used but mine do not. I have my lights on auto but tried having them on manually.
Am I missing something? I suspect dodgy fuse. Anyone know which one that is so I can check?

Re: Headlight washers
Have you checked Fuse 36 - 20 amps (yellow) in the driver's side dash?
Ref: Fuse Lists
If thats intact, then there is a relay on the Central Electrics Relay panel behind the little covered drop-down storage pocket to the right of the steering wheel
There a 3 rows of relays. Top has a single relay fitted, second row has 4 if all fitted. The Headlight Washer Relay is directly below the single relay on the top row and inboard.

Where it written "S83" in yellow on this photo, mine is missing as I don't have washers. Its one of two "half" relays fitted. You can see the size by the one in the photo fitted to the left of its position.
After that its down to the Central Electronics 09 controller & VCDS investigation to check the facility is selected.

Re: Headlight washers
Thanks for te quick reply. It was fuse 36 that had blown. I've replaced it and the washers work but we'll see how long it lasts as I suspect the fuse didn't blow without reason
