Design and Operating Logic for an A8

[Mkoneman]

took me a wile before i realised the sunroof tilted by pushing the rotating switch up

[Dezzy]

The passenger mirror will only tilt down at the kerb when you reverse, if the knob is clicked over to the passenger mirror.

Very subtle changes between PF and FL then my sunroof knob turns both anti and clockwise for tilt or slide. Both my headlight washers fire at the same time.

well both my B8 A4 washers fire at the same time because there is a flood of spray on both sides at once hmmm seems to vary then

[tonupkid]

I think the head lamp washers do each side in turn, so as to deliver the maximum pressure to each headlamp.
And, You only get the lamp wash when you have the headlights on and use the washers for more than a second or so. Neat
The boot liner over the spare hooks out of the way onto the lip of the boot by way of the pull handle (I guess you already knew that)
But, there's nowhere to hook the washer filler cap out of the way on my D3, so it flips almost shut when your trying to fill the washer bottle up. Crap
Why can't the boot be remotely closed. That's something you could have fun with

I find it impossible to only squirt the windows when the lights are on.

I let the lever go as soon as the washers work but it's already squirting the N/S headlamp.

There must be a frig in VagCom to alter that timing.....

I dont think its as fancy as using vag com is it? On my old A4 I thought they both fired when the pump had built enough pressure up.

Good to hear they are meant to go off one at a time, I can cross 'fixing' them off my to-do list!!

Is there any way of raising them up (without water coming out!) to check they are all clean, free moving, and the nozzles are OK?

[sloss]

The covers, I'm talking A8L D3 here, are spring loaded and the nozzle is deployed by water pressure alone - no lecky motors to break.

I'd think a gentle fiddle about might get them out but just a lot of squirting should be enough, especially if you let it empty them put some hot water in.

I don't know the logic of firing to Left then Right is done, some kind of divertor or a fancy pump - that's the kind of things I started this thread to find out about!
