How much windshield washer fluid should be added to an Audi A4?
2 Answers
Audi A4 generally requires about 4 liters of windshield washer fluid. There is a dipstick in the washer fluid reservoir; you can add the fluid while checking the level, and stop when it reaches the marked line. Adding too much may cause overflow and unnecessary waste. During autumn and winter, the windshield washer fluid should have excellent cleaning and antifreeze performance. The steps to add windshield washer fluid to an Audi A4 are as follows: 1. Use the wiper control knob to spray out the old washer fluid first. 2. After the old fluid is completely sprayed out, open the washer fluid filler port and add a small amount of new washer fluid solution. 3. Turn on the washer fluid spray switch again to clean out any remaining old fluid. 4. When no more fluid comes out from the spray nozzle the second time, add about 4L of new washer fluid, then close the cap securely.
I've been driving this Audi A4 for several years, and regarding how much windshield washer fluid to add, it's actually quite simple. Usually, you just pop open the hood, find the plastic tank marked with the wiper icon, and fill it up. The capacity is typically around 4 liters, equivalent to two large bottles of mineral water. I make it a habit to check every three months, using regular washer fluid in summer and switching to antifreeze type in winter to prevent the nozzles from freezing. Don't use water as a substitute—water contains impurities that can clog the pipes or corrode components. Once filled up, it generally lasts a few thousand kilometers, depending on usage frequency. When filling, pay attention to the max line marked on the tank and stop pouring when you reach it to avoid overflow. To save money, brands available in supermarkets for around 20-30 yuan work just fine.
