Mr Bridger Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Simple question before I assume my one is knackered. I have a 2021 St Line X, does it notify you if the screen wash gets low? Mine doesn't and just runs dry. So either the level is stuck and doesn't flag it, or it doesn't have one. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Only if you have headlight washers. Otherwise no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR800 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I've got a 2019 ST Line X without headlight washers, and mine tells me if it's low! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Interesting. Usually Ford only include it with the bigger reservoir for headlight washers. Can’t rely on that anymore then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeJQuinn Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Some models have it and others dont. The Mk4.5 doesn't come with headlight washers anymore (the mk4 only came with them due to an EU law which stated all cars with Xeon lights needed washers to stop glare. the Mk4.5 has full LED lights now) and mine tells me when its low. It just depends on the model/spec. Why LED headlamps do not come with washers as standard?

The law wasn't about Xenons, but about lights (of any technology) over a certain brightness. I don't know if they reduced the brightness on dipped beam to no longer need it. It was costed out on later models of MK4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reddit post explains why they were dropped - due to a legal loophole how they measure the lumens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 My '21 plate Mk4 had full adaptive LEDs but no headlight washers. I didn't notice until Alex mentioned it on here! 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frowma Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 19 plate ST-X owner here, car has adaptive Led, headlight washers, does come with a level warning. I've no idea how big the washer bottle is, decided to top it up the other day (warning had not come on) and put 4.5litres in it 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
