2 Answers
The steps to add windshield washer fluid to an Audi Q5 are: 1. Open the engine hood; 2. Open the blue cap near the driver's position; 3. Add the windshield washer fluid and securely close the cap. Taking the 2018 Audi Q5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4629mm, width 1898mm, height 1655mm, wheelbase 2807mm, fuel tank capacity 75 liters, and trunk capacity 540 liters. The 2018 Audi Q5 is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 169kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
In my years of driving an Audi Q5, topping up the windshield washer fluid has been part of routine maintenance. The process is straightforward: First, sit in the driver's seat, where you'll find the hood release lever near your right foot. Give it a gentle pull, and you'll hear a click. Then, step out of the car and locate the hood release latch at the front of the vehicle. Lift it to open the engine compartment. Inside, at the front right corner, there's a plastic reservoir with a blue cap, usually marked with a windshield symbol—this is the washer fluid tank. Unscrew the cap, slowly pour in the dedicated windshield washer fluid, and stop when it's nearly full to avoid overflow. Close the cap securely; the whole process takes less than five minutes. I prefer using antifreeze fluid, especially in winter, to prevent the nozzles from freezing or damaging the washer system. During rainy seasons, check more frequently as the fluid depletes faster. Maintaining clear visibility is crucial to avoid windshield scratches from dry wiper blades and to enhance driving safety. It's advisable to check monthly as part of routine maintenance. If the fluid doesn't spray when activated, it's a good reminder to refill.
