Touareg 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

This headlight washer(s) that pop up from front bumper came off during drive from ca to md. During the drive back temperature went into the freesing range. Was not aware that when wash the windshield these other washers pop up to washer the headlight. Anyways, they do and due to cold it got stuck in up position and eventually came off. Dealer initially said covered under warranty and now says that since have a scratch on side bumper someone tempered with the washer. However more importantly they said that it has never happened to anyone before. I said maybe not yet or in different region since this was when driving in much colder weather. Also, they also confirmed that it stucks in the down position when they put in a new one.
