The warning is only part of the Winter Pack, and even then some of us have found we don't have it! Not sure how you check, but would presume if you've gone empty with no warning, its not there!
hi mate, assumed they all had the warning light, yes ive gone empty and no light,
learn something new every day!

Mine is 64 plate Leon with winter pack. Does have the warning. Very handy but does come on a lot earlier than needed I found.
I'm sure mine ding-donged the other day? Or maybe not... I usually top it up when its getting a clean, which i haven't done in a while so will be able to tell soon!
It appears the earlier models got the good stuff, the latter had to tick the box or not at all it seems. I may only have an MIB1 unit, but the rest I can be quite smug about
Had a 63 plate Mk3 Leon with LED headlights, no winter pack, but had headlight washers, have warning when low level, had an Ibiza (66 plate) with Bi-Xenon, so mandatory headlight washers, had warning as well when levels were low. Now have a Volvo V40, no washers, no winter pack, have warning when low.
It comes on early as low volumes of fluid freeze more easily...
Take it from someone that learnt the hard way whilst living in Germany; took me two weeks parked in the garage to defrost the washer fluid system after I was informed that the winter pack included a heating element in the washer bottle.
Genuine VAG -70 deg C fluid used neat from then onwards stopped this issue.
My wife has just confirmed her 67 plate Leon Xcellence has the low washer bottle warning and it tells her every time she gets in the car that it is low. This is the first time she has seen the warning come up since she got the car in January 2017.
I’m therefore making an assumption that my 67 plate CUPRA 300 will have the low washer bottle warning to, do to prove it I’m going to let the level drop down and see what happens.

I've forgotten what is in the owners manual, but as with many other features, typically they should have an Asterix against that entry as it depends on trim level and options fitted.
I ran mine down deliberately to check - no warning for me - 2018 Cupra 300 SC ( no winter pack )
As others above - mine gets topped up once a week so not really an issue.
I do take a 5ltr bottle of pre-mixed screenwash with me for longer journeys - especially at this time of year when the roads are filthy.
