    Default Beetles have no washer fluid low warning indicators? wtf!

    Any beyonders been around 99-late 2000s Beetles? Can you confirm they don't have washer fluid low warning sensors??? I looked through the manual and it says nothing about it. .. not very smart for a chick car..would be pretty annoying even if my own car didn't have it. ..I always thought all modern cars would have it?

    Have a look at the reservoir and see if it has a sensor wire going to it. Would be strange if it doesn't have one but we are talking about VW here (I'm on my third VW now). If it does have a sensor then it could be unplugged, corroded or if she was using Rain-X it could have coated the sensor in the tank (dont ever use rain x )

    Maybe post a pic or two of the dash lit up and the reservoir

    My first thought was dead sensor. .but I looked at the cars manual first and it literally does not list a washer fluid low warning light, Ill have to pop the hood later to see if she can even visually inspect the level just by looking at it. ..

    Lots of vehicles don't have these. I've owned a fair amount of vehicles and the only vehicle that has it is my girlfriends Sentra.

    Just glad you don't. Nothing but trouble with VW/Audi sensors if you use rain-x washer fluid.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    I've had dozens of cars and think one of them MIGHT have had one. I can't believe you're in such disbelief about this haha.

    She's kinda right. Seat-belts have had progressive tensioners that work upon braking/vehicle deceleration for years.

    Out of all my vehicles, only one had such a light. It wouldn't come on until the fluid was completely out, so that wasn't very helpful

    The escalade may not have a light but right in the middle of the dash on your message screen it'll say washer fluid low.
    We stopped checking for monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside us.

    EVERY car I've ever owned has not had a washer fluid low warning light. And yes, I've owned a few recently made vehicles.

    My Sierra doesn't have a light, but will pop up with a little message on the DIC when it gets low.
