Default Washerr Fluid Level Indicator?

Is it true that some cars do not come equipped with a low level washer fluid indicator?

I've ran bone dry twice... would have thought this was a basic feature?? Did the Germans get this one wrong??

Really?

My 99 has a low washer fluid indicator....the fact that the headlight washers started leaking and setting off the warning 10 mins after I add any washer fluid is another story though....

You sure your tank wasn't replaced with an aftermarket one with no sensor?

I'm sure it's a standard feature. I have it in my A4.

Some don't have it. I forget the year, but some B6 A4 didn't come with it.

AAhh that's lame. A company like Audi should make it standard. I'm sure that Benz and BMW do... even my wifes Saab has that function..

if you have a 2004 b6 a4 3.0 it should have it.

I have a 2003 b6 a4 1.8T and it has it.

Even mine, 2001 b5 1.8t, has it. But, it is one of the most annoying functions to me. When my washer fluid tank has not enough fluid, it constantly "moves" like a Damagochi game which distracts me a lot while I am on the wheel.

Yup was told at queensway that it wasn't equipped with a sensor ... supposedly part of the Xenon headlight package.

Yup dumbest thing ever...... Audi dropped the ball on this one

i find this hard to believe... I dont have the xenon package.? Not to mention why would a washer fluid level indicator have anything to do with a headlight package on your car..

It wouldn't be the first time that Queensway Audi gave out information that was completely wrong. I find it odd I have an 04 3.0 Quattro with very few options and it has the wiper fluid level monitor thingy.....
