| headlight washers Are these supposed to work when you use the windscreen washers?? I have a 1.8 T elegance. Is there a separate fluid bottle or does it share the same one as the windscreen. Thanks Rob |

| Briskodian | Yes, but only when you have the headlights switched on, and it shares the same washer bottle as used by the front and back wipers |

| Also, you have to pull and hold the windscreen spray on for a second longer than usual to get the headlight washers working. Dave.

| headlight washers thanks for the help. I am not used to so many gadgets on a car  Not had it a week yet but really enjoying it so far. After a ford focus the skoda really does feel like a luxury car. Also everyone who has seen my car has been nothing but respectful in regards to the skoda marque. It seems i have more "street cred"  now i am a skoda owner than when i was a ford owner.  |

| Briskodian | Rob. I'm in the same boat as you having my Elegance just a week now. You'll soon discover the headlamp washers are, however, pretty useless. Have you discovered the third sun visor yet ?  |

| headlight washers yes i have found the 3rd sun visor. I had already heard about it before i got the car. My friend with a bora TDi had the same thing and he says the sun can still get through in between the middle and normal visors  |
