I didn't realise it used a set amount. I just keep my finger on the button until the screen is well soaked otherwise is just smears it. It needs a fair bit to shift the Herefordshire clay and other s t the farmers leave on the roads around here. GONE - '07 TD4 GS manual Zermatt Silver

It is a MY13 thing, you now have to only momentarily press and release the washer button for a timed amount to be released. There is nothing the owner can change and i very much doubt the dealer could do anything as it probably is'nt a software change option.

I agree that the fluid is overused. The problem seems to be with nozzles, they just jet the water instead of showering the windscreen.

You live & learn . I've just tried it and it does squirt a reasonable amount. I would say not too much as I have been using a bit more than the preset quantity. It isn't exactly a big cost compared to the overall running costs. GONE - '07 TD4 GS manual Zermatt Silver LONG GONE - '55 Norton Dominator 99 SS cafe racer |

MY11 = no set amount. Short press = small amount of fluid ejaculated (oo-eerrrr missus ) ...

The other nice thing about the MY13 is that as well as the usual three wipes after squirting (fnar fnar) it gives a further delayed wipe to catch the drips. I'm a fan. |

And I'm quite irritated with this feature: wet mud is flying into the face, you bring up the water, wipers do their job, it becomes clean, wet mud continue to fly and this delayed wipe ruins everything |
