Antifreeze for the Windscreen Washer Reservoir

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Windshield wipers

Video tutorial

It is common to fill the windscreen washer reservoir with just water, which is a mistake for several reasons: - Water does not provide adequate cleaning; - Limescale can clog the nozzles and pump; - In low temperatures, water freezes, expanding and potentially breaking the reservoir.

For all these reasons, it is essential to fill the windscreen washer reservoir with a suitable product that not only ensures excellent cleaning but also contains an antifreeze additive.

You can choose ready-to-use products or concentrated solutions that should be diluted in distilled water.
