Audi Q5 windshield washer fluid addition method: 1. Directly use the wiper switch knob to spray out the windshield washer fluid; 2. When the wiper nozzle stops spraying, open the windshield washer fluid filler port and add a small amount of new windshield washer fluid; 3. Turn on the wiper switch again to clean out the remaining old windshield washer fluid; 4. When the nozzle no longer sprays fluid for the second time, add approximately 4L of windshield washer fluid, then close the cap to complete the filling process. The Audi Q5 is a mid-size SUV under FAW-Volkswagen Audi. Taking the Audi Q5 2018 Collector's Edition 40TFSI Technology model as an example, its powertrain is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 169kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm. The engine block is made of cast iron, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout.
When I first drove the Audi Q5, adding windshield washer fluid seemed a bit complicated, but it's actually quite simple. Open the hood, and you'll immediately spot the small blue cap in the left corner with a clear windshield wiper icon—that's the reservoir opening. Unscrew the cap steadily, pour in the dedicated washer fluid; I prefer using reliable quality brands. Regular fluid works fine in summer, but you must switch to an antifreeze formula in winter to prevent the reservoir from freezing and cracking. Don't overfill when pouring, and check the seal before tightening the cap. The whole process takes just minutes—never cut corners by using tap water, as it can clog the nozzles and lead to costly repairs. Make it a habit to check regularly; glance at the fluid level when washing the car to ensure clear visibility for safe driving.
