How to disable headlight washers

[DaveF]

Does anyone know how I can disable the headlight washers? When the headlights are on you can't wash the windscreen without losing a gallon of water on the lights! On the T5 you could do a quick wash and this didn't trigger the headlight system - my T6 won't do it........

It only does it once in every 5 washes when the lights are on, I am sure I saw an adaption where you could up this number.

Mine does it every time....I wonder if I can change that then? I'll need to have a read of the manual!

Yes this can be changed, it can also be changed to only do it if you hold the windscreen washer lever on for x amount of seconds aswel

Just turn the lights to side lights when you want to wash the window

Could you share the details please as these are not really documented for T6 in the VCDS. Well, I couldn't find anything related to adjust neither in adaptations nor in the codings.
