Hi, I’ve got a question, how do I use my washer system to clean my windscreen, I’ve just bought my first Skoda and it’s a brilliant car, I’ve been driving it for a while now, and I’ve tried everything nob and switch I think, maybe?, well I’m stuck lol and don’t have a clue how to use it, so any help would be great

 

i have a Skoda Fabia mk1 2000 1.4 16v

 

thanks

pull back the right hand stalk and it should wash and wipe

...........providing there is water/screenwash in the bottle.  As Mrs G states a little " pull " works wonders

Nah big pull gets the car behind nice and wet, especially useful for tailgaters.

Not to mention the headlamp washers which work wonders on cyclists and pedestrians as you drive past

....and that the pipes haven't popped apart

Doh!!    Popping pipes, nothing worse than popping pipes

There's a warning post on here, somewhere about Fabia popping washer pipes. I've had it, so I'll  repost the warning. At one time, SKODA warned about charging customers with poped off pipes, where only water ( with no screen wash, and their minimum of 50% mix) had been ignored and pipes had popped. I picked my Fabia up from a non-Skoda place, and on delivery, I found the rear washer did not work, and on checking, the washer bottle contained only water. The rear pipe had come off on the firewall. Since I've owned it  ( and that's over ten years) I've never put less than 50% mix in in summer and 100% mix in winter( along with my additive= a dollop of cheap & nasty Asda washing up liquid, to  get rid of grease/diesel etc ) and I've never had a pipe pop off.

OH- I've never had problems with the bottle not spraying, but I live in an area where it never gets too cold. Just cold enough to have to lock up the blowlamp and soldering iron to prevent theft by brass monkeys ( that might have migrated down from a well known Yorkshire town, where monkeys are well hung)

Hartlepool isn't in Yorkshire

I suppose they will be back on to doing that after Bretix, unless the Froggies have started using some other disguises for spies!

I've always been  lead to believe that West Hartlepool IS in the remote parts of WEST YORKSHIRE,  ( as the Monkey fleeing from  WHP, on a bicycle, to avoid problems from natives might assume)

Used to be County Durham, then Cleveland, now Teesside.

Mrs V is a native of Middlesboro- and I have always been educated by her and her DAD that Monkey hunting land was over the river in Hartlepool.

@VWD - I've got a mate who has relatives from Hartlepool, and he always called them monkey hangers!

That is correct. I live there.

Yes that's what people call us.

 

 

TMB- so not a visitor to the Riverside then? ( Or as it was in our day =Ayresom Park)

 

My old mate in WH used to tell me that there were more than one. The folks in WH sent the male over to Middlesbrough ( note the correct SPELLING)  to BREED.

Mrs V tells me that her BIL could be a descendant

No, I hate any kind of sport. I have been to one football match in my entire life with my dad when he was alive and that was Hartlepool United.
