Why does my Audi 80's windshield washer not work without the wipers being on?

I have noticed that my Audi 80's windshield washer only works when I have the wipers on. Is this normal or is there a malfunction?

This is completely normal and designed for safety purposes. The wipers should always be on when using the windshield washer so that the water and cleaner can be effectively cleared off the glass.

It sounds like there may be a malfunction with your windshield washer system. I would recommend taking your Audi 80 to a trusted mechanic to have it checked out.
