Headlight wash
Bit of a noob question as learning the foibles of the D3....
Is it normal when operating the windscreen wash, the headlight washer system activates one side at a time??? I get the drivers side pop out and spray water, then once that’s done it’s spray it retracts and then the passenger side activates. My previous Audi’s have always done both headlight washers at the same time.... |

Yes, but design. Only affects the output of one headlight at a time

Makes perfect sense, only need half the power from pump and only affects light output from one light at the time.

The time delay and washer time duration can all be altered in the adaptation channels.

Do you know if you can alter the washer timing? As the spray from my headlight washers inevitably tends to find its way onto the windscreen, and need a manually activated pass or two from the wipers. (first world problem I know)

Hi John, all doing well mate.
I'll be honest and although it can be changed there will be some trial and error as I've not discovered what the T values are that can't be altered at they're fixed within the modules firmware. Here's what the manual says... Quote:
Login to module 4F, Security Access 12151, Do It, then change the values in adaption channels 6 - 11. Just for reference here are some values (6-11) 100;40;100;70;75;100 from my A8 100;40;60;100;75;100 Factory Settings
