Hi Folks

 

Just purchased some quantum screen wash today as my car needs some

And was wondering what capacity the washer bottle holds in Litres? My car has xenon's with the washer headlamps, I have heard that the washer bottle holds 5.5 litres? 

 

Also a little confused on the mix ratio  :| as for winter use it says 1:5 to which I'm assuming its 500ml of total screen wash to use for a 5.5 litre washer bottle capacity? or am I completely wrong

 

Cheers

Unless I'm wrong, I often am, it would be 1l of screenwash to every 5l of water? So I would say about 850mls of SW and top up with water to 5.5l, assuming it holds 5.5l

You're completely wrong. 500ml to 5.5 litre is 1:11 and is a summer mix

It's 4.7 litres for cars with headlight washers.

Why don't you just tip a load of screen wash in then top up with water. It will be fine.

I used the VAG -70 concentrate only really because its affordable, works well and smells pretty good.

Once on the warning I always put 0.5l of concentrate in then top off with tap water. Never given me any issues.

My Octavia just went in for a service and they'd put 500ml screenwash in and left the remainder in the bottle in the car so guess its what alot of dealers do also.

I dont know 100% but thought the headlamp washer equipped cars had 5l tank and those without 3 or 3.5l?

The manual says 3litres without headlamp washers and "around 4.7litres"

Around? Haha. Must have lots of variably sized old bottles lying about the place

That's what I don't want to do, don't get me wrong, I have done this is the past with previous vehicles but seeing as the colder weather is setting in! I would rather get the correct ratio/strength & mix with water in a spare 5L bottle & then add it to the washer bottle
