Are you checking these with the lights on ?? they work on water pressure I believe one of the common problems is due to split pipes
It might be worth looking under the car when you try to use them to see if you get a spray out under the car

Pump failure is common. Defective part that Audi kindly never bothered replacing, even for the last B5 S4s off the line...

And where exactly is that pump located?

Looks like they might have even seized up.

Might need to get a different unit fitted.

They do only work when going a certain speed. Not sure what. Best to take the car for a run on the motorway or dual carriagway and and just before you get off, activate them. Get down from the car when off carriageway and check for water on lamps or body.

Double snap! You can see when moving that they have worked because they spray over the bonnet and screen, plus make a noise

Might be different for face lift midles and pre facelift. CAn you guys confirm whther you have a facelift or not. Mines a facelift. If you have facelifts then I defo have something up with mine.
