Seeking Advice on Faulty Headlight Cleaning System in 2015 VW Sharan Diesel

Hey there, Had a similar issue with my 2018 VW Tiguan not long ago, the windscreen wash system started playing up with the "Washing Liquid Level Too Low" warning coming on dash. First thought was to just top up the fluid, but it didn't help. Turns out, I had a washer fluid reservoir leak. This wasn't like some catastrophic issue but it's definitely something you won't want to ignore. If left unchecked, it could lead to impaired vision due to a gunky windscreen or, at worst, malfunctioning headlights because of uncleaned lenses. A decent garage should be able to sort it out pretty straightforwardly. The work basically involved inspecting and replacing the leaking washer reservoir. Do make sure to ask them to check all lines and pumps associated with the system because there's a chance it's not just the reservoir that's causing trouble. If you're in need of a trustworthy mechanic, my go-to is Mike at VW City Garage - hands-on and knows his stuff. Hope you manage to sort it out!
