Headlight Washers

My car seems to have just started washing the headlights every time I spray the windscreen rather than every fifth time I think it was doing before. Anyone got any ideas why this might be?

It's a setting that can be changed using Vagcom /VCDS.

Don't know why it would change though.

Remember it's every 5th time after the 1st time and not simply every 5th time, if you know what I mean.

A little tip you can try. If you quickly pull the washer twice it will only do the windscreen.
