How to Add Windshield Washer Fluid to a Ford Focus?
2 Answers
Ford Focus windshield washer fluid addition method is as follows: 1. Use the wiper switch knob to first drain the existing windshield washer fluid. 2. After the fluid is sprayed out, add a small amount of new windshield washer fluid at the filling port. 3. Turn on the wiper switch to clean out the remaining old windshield washer fluid. 4. When no more fluid sprays out, add approximately 4L of windshield washer solution and then close the cap. The filling process is now complete. Homemade windshield washer fluid method is as follows: (1) Prepare materials: medical alcohol, dishwashing liquid, water, and a plastic bottle with a capacity larger than 2L. (2) Fill the plastic bottle with 2 liters of water. (3) Then add 500ml of medical alcohol. (4) Mix in two bottle caps of dishwashing liquid into the solution. Avoid using laundry powder as it may not dissolve fully and can clog the spray nozzles. (5) Shake the solution thoroughly before use.
Adding windshield washer fluid is really basic and quite convenient. I've been driving a Ford Focus for a while now, and every time I do it after turning off the engine, I open the hood and look for a small blue cap with a windshield icon printed on it—that's the washer fluid reservoir. Slowly pour in the dedicated washer fluid, making sure not to exceed the full line mark to avoid waste or spillage. After filling, tighten the cap securely to ensure a good seal. I recommend checking the fluid level every week or two, especially in winter when it's prone to freezing—it's best to use antifreeze-type washer fluid. In summer, regular cleaning fluid works too, but don't try to save money by using tap water, as its mineral content can clog the nozzles or damage the pump. Regularly topping up the washer fluid ensures smooth windshield wiper operation and keeps your driving vision clear.
