Driving on the highway this weekend I went to wash the windshield and a bit of fluid came out and sprayed the windshield and then nothing. Figured I was empty so it didn't bother me. Went to fill it today and it was looking really low, but not completely out.

Anyway, filled it up and tried to wash again and nothing.

Is there something specific I should be on the lookout for?

 

Could your jets be frozen?

Check the hoses that are attached to the spay nozzles to see if one had come loose. This happened to me a few years ago in my Subaru WRX. Or as Voodooca said, they may be frozen, see if you can park your car somewhere warm for a few hours.

 

Have heated underground parking so they wouldn't be frozen. Checked the hose running into the washer reservoir already so I'll have to nose around.

 

Is the pump working, do you hear it when you're trying to use the wiper fluid, maybe you just blew a fuse.

 

yeah, i would go with Mr. Driftr....fuse prolly

 

Just had the same thing happened to my A4. Turns out it was the fuse. Simple fix.
Definitely check that out first.
G'luck

 

Swapped out the fuse. No luck. Will have to do some more digging.

 

Ya - would be interesting to know if you can hear the pump working or not...

Check your washer jet motor. There are two, one for the windshield and one for the headlights. The problem might be a cracked pump for the washer, likely due to frozen washer fluid. The part is supposedly cheap according to my mechanic. About $40 or so but he says that it usually takes him most of an hour to replace it. According to him, it's a PITA to get to. Good luck!
