to make not only a light but a chime for the windshield wiper fluid?

How is that a good use of resources?

You should see it in the Audis... it beeps and is animated and looks like a volcano is going to erupt on your dash.

Its a whole lot of hooplah for washer fluid.

edit:

I found a pic on Audiworld... The top is the washer fluid warning.

Heh, one of my friends who owns an A4 and knows nothing about it called me up one time and asked, "what does it mean if the little display in the dash shows a volcano spewing lava?" ... "ummm, what?"

for a girls car....if ANYTHING is mis-aligned or otherwise....it should bellow out in a deep MAN'S voice...."pull over now....call a man....you are incapable of anything beyond this point except for total destruction to your car"..........:tup2:

When I first met my wife, she drove one of these....talk about annoying shit. You would be driving blasting music, then the volume will drop and then "Your fuel is low" then you had to turn the damn radio back up..."your door is ajar" "Your windshield washer fluid is low" Talk about pulling fuses...

My washer fluid light just came on for the first time this morning. I freaked out when I heard the bell, then looked and said, "That's stupid and annoying!"

i got my girl trained, she doesnt even blink when my check engine light comes on under hard driving conditions due to the test pipe. she even knows how to run vag com to clear the code and make sure nothing is really wrong.

Exactly what was going through my woman's mind.

You would think that after I heard it for the 20th time I'd go put some water in the thing... but no.. I hear it every time I turn my damn car on heh.

Let me get this right...you had to 'train' her to use a(/her) vag....something just aint right there ;)

if it makes you feel any better in the MINI, you get a bell sound
and the goddamned light is located on the end of your turn-signal arm doohickey
and it flashes like a bloody strobelite.

it's not so bad during the day, but at night it's like a seizure inducing pulse...
i feel like i'm at a rave.

VW engineers had the foresight that some people would use the washer fluid reservoir with water or meth injection kits. :)
