Bit like the elderly couple opposite us who will clear the car with a yard brush and then literally sit there and red line the engine till it warms up to defrost the wind screen then switch it off and go back inside!

Wow. Yeah, he's not quite that extreme, he did once give someone a 4 hour lecture on how to use a table saw though :/

Anyone know if Lidl have the screenwash back in yet this year?

They certainly do in some Scottish Stores, &  probably all of them.

 

My worst buy ever is the 10 X 4 litre Bottles i bought of 

'Prerestone' Screen Wash All Seasons.   that Tesco was selling off at £2.50 a time.

(i see Asda was clearing it as well.)

 

I will not be giving this as presents to my worst enemy, 

it is rubbish as a windscreen washer, so greasy,

but yet to see how it is in really low temperatures below -3*oC or so,

it might make Wiper Blades last OK..

 

Yet i like the 'Prestone' De-icer that i bought when reduced at the end of a winter a few years back.

No choice but to use, as i still have about 2 more winters supply left.

Screen wash? I forgot about that.

The tank in my fabia must be a bottomless pit. It never seems to need filling.

Im trying to run it out so i can see how much it holds, but it seems to go on forever..

Every time I pop into my dealers I always ask for a Complimentry Bottle of screen wash, just been to look I've 6 unopened bottles. I mix one bottle ( Litre )

to make 5 litres

Keep at it Auric!

You can be Briskys screen wash supplier .

Otaylor38,

You are obviously not the kind that use the Washer Fluid to tell cars and bikes to get off your jacksy

when you feel they are too close if you needed to stop quick.

 

That is why i get through so much,

i wash my windscreen a few times, and they should get the hint really, that is before i brake test them.

Petty i know.

Ahaha. Do you have one yet pointed at the sky so it gets em then? Aha.

I just slow down and slow down more. Until im stopped. Then its get out n ask what the problem is time haha.

They usually overtake in a stupid place before that though.

I have been victim of the washer fluid. Sat behind a stationary car when they wash their screen. Stings my eyes abit cos the visor was up haha. Tasted funny too!

How times have changed. Last time I read a screen wash thread, there only a couple of us who thought the lidl stuff any good, now look at this one, almost everyone.

It certainly works for me. Blatting down a German Autobahn in deep frost and it still works.

When you run out, the big jug in the boot is there so you just top up, no looking for water (in its liquid form)

No need to worry if you have made it strong enough.

Its damn fine screenwash.

I wouldn't advise running it out completely mind. I did that on my Peugeot by accident, half way from work, following a wagon, just after it had been raining. After getting to work using the couple of inches of smear-less screen left I filled it with water and it must have sucked some dirt in and blocked one of the jets. I just left it like this until trade in.

Thats unlucky :/.

I've run out in previous cars without any issues.

Maybe you tried it too much? Haha

The car was crap, it was probably bits of engine or something being sucked in.

Ahaha .

Mines still under warranty, so skoda can sort it out of that happens to me haha

I used to use Lidl screenwash all the time (for the past three years). Both washer bottles on the car and the van have developed leaks from the O ring seals where the pump / neck attach and have failed / are now leaking. Coincidence?

Must be.

I have used it since it first became readily available over here. The last two cars have had an exclusive diet of the LSW, winter and summer, over the last ten or twelve years.
