I'm stuck at work with no way of pre-mixing screenwash before chucking it in the car - so it's time for mental maths and pouring in the concentrate and water and allowing car movement to do the mixing for me

Can anyone tell me what the capacity of the washer bottle is on a FL Octy 2 with factory Xenon's?

Allows me to do the maths and make sure I get a good combination of concentrate/water.

On my mk1 it was 5.5litres (iirc).  Have a feeling it said the capacity was mentioned on blue filler cap.  I believe a standard tank is 3litre, and the xenon tank is 5litres on the mk2.

Owner's manual...

It's about 5 litre - I'm getting about 4.5l in when the warning light has just come on

In fact, from the (PDF) owners manual:

 

The filling level of the container is about 3 litres and about 5.5 litres on vehicles which have a headlight washing system.

standard is 3ltrs f you have headlight washers it is 5.5 ltrs. don't think it matters what lights are fitted. as above post

Thanks all. Did have a look under the blue cap but nothing there and manuals - they are for those with no courage

It was only a 1L bottle of concentrate, so assuming there was some left even with the warning light on, I put that all in and then it took around 3.5L of water before it was full.

Which is interesting to know that you still have about a litre left after the light comes on....

the washer bottle is the roughly the same size on all cars

 

i think the headlight washer bottle has about half a litre more capacity
