I drive an 09 GTI.
With the stock fluid from the dealership, I had no problems even in the extreme cold temperature my area has recently experienced. Only problem was the fluid did not clean very well.
So, I decided to use Rain-X (the yellow) stuff. I replaced the stock stuff with the yellow. Works fine. Cleans nice. No warnings for a few days.
Then one cold morning, the warning light flashes on my dashboard. I checked the container, but there's still a good amount of fluid. There is no possible way that I could use up a tank of fluid in the few days unless I was constantly spraying that stuff.
I think to myself, maybe the engine is not warmed up. I commute to work so its a 1 hour drive. Engine should be warm enough. Warning sign still flashes on my dashboard. It was extremely annoying driving all the way to work with that warning flashing in my face.
What is broken? How do I fix?
