GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
Windscreen
washer
system
"he fluid container is on the
right
of the en gine compartment. The container holds
about 5 litres, on vehicles
with
headlight
washer
system* about 7 litres.
The
rear window washer is supplied
with
fluid from the container in the engine com-oartment. Filling the
container
Pull
the cap off and
fill
container to the brim
with
washer fluid.
Press
cap on
tightly
again,
then switch on ignition and check
operation of washer system.
It is advisable to add a window cleaning
sol
ution
with
a wax remover
(with
anti-freeze
additive in winter) to the water because plain water is not usually sufficient to clean
the glass and headlight lenses quickly and
thoroughly. The mixing ratios on the win dow cleaner packaging must be adhered to.
Even
when
heated
windscreen
washer
jets*
are fitted, a window clean ing solution containing anti-freeze should
be
added to the water in the winter.
Note
If at any time no window cleaning solution
with
anti-freeze additive is available, methylated spirits can be
used.
Do not,
under any circumstances, add engine
cool
ing system fluid or other additives.
Adjusting
washer
jets
When
the vehicle is stationary, the water
should
hit the windscreen approximately as
shown.
The
jet for the rear window washer is in the
wiper shaft. The water jet should hit the
glass
in the centre of the wiped area.
The
jets can be adjusted
with
a needle.
The
jets for the
headlight
washer
sys
tem*
can only be adjusted
with
a specia
tool.
When adjustment is necessary,
con
tact your Volkswagen dealer.
