Windshield Washer Fluid

[logger]

I am becoming addicted to the smell and apart from that it seems to work OK. Anyone know what brew VW put in pre delivery?

VW Sell their own formula. Depending on which dealer you go to they normally give you a bottle of it at your first service.

I am sure I will run out prior to 1st service. So will swing by my local dealer next week and see what they have on offer. Thnx.

I have a nice bottle of it at home. A Barloworld man in Sydney gave me one when I was in the show room.....I was taken behind the counter and walked right past all the little VW bottle products they use and he was kind enough to give me one. :P

I wonder if it is a Wurth product with VW packaging ? IIRC some of the other (cheaper) proucts can gum up the washer jets.

I didn't see it in Wurth product catalog, will have to ask my Wurth rep.

I use Vaico windscreen washer additive, it smells like orange, one 25ml bottle treats 2.0L of water. I buy it from HSY Autoparts.

Local VW dealer uses a little red satchel when servicing. They gave me a couple, but also ordered me in a couple of bottles of G 052 164 M2 for which I paid $7.50 each. Anyone know how big the washer tank is on the MK6? 5L perhaps?

The same as the Mark V IIRC, 3.5 litres if you have halogens and 5 litres with low fluid warning if you have bi-xenons.

Thanx Mav. That means I'd be a three and a halfer. Will break out my laminated labeler and placard the filler neck before I forget.

Picked up a bottle of this today for $6.00 from my friendly VW spare parts man...

I bought a bottle of VW windscreen washer fluid and foolishly mixed it as per the label for sunny conditions, ie 1 part fluid to 4 parts water. The guy at the parts counter did say use only a cap full. I should have listened to him as I now have a suds laden wash solution which spits rather than sprays on the window. I am now trying to get this crap out of the system so I can dilute it down with water.

May have discovered a new aftershave. Splash it on.
