The Wipers on my 2.0 litre DSG Yeti give 4 wipes before the washers begin to work. How can I reset them so that the washers come on before the wipers?

Is the washer reservoir topped up?
The heated washer jets have a brief delay but nowhere near 4 wipes.

I would suspect that the pipes are draining back. I don't know if there is a non-return valve in there or not, but if yes, it could be this, or it might be a small leak somewhere in the pipework.

Mine gets water on the screen during the first sweep.

Might it be that there is a non-return 'ball' in the spray head itself and its contaminated by Polish or something else.

Thanks for those suggestions. It has been like this from new (8 months ago) I wondered whether it was programmed to do this but the manual states that the washers should come on before the wipers. 

Mine works in time to avoid a dry wipe.

Back to the dealer then.

Mine gives one "dry" wipe before the water appears. I believe it can be changed by VCDS but I've never bothered.
