How to Add Windshield Washer Fluid to Audi A4L
3 Answers
Here are the steps to add windshield washer fluid to Audi A4L: 1. Use the wiper control knob to spray out the old windshield washer fluid first. 2. After spraying out all the old fluid, open the windshield washer fluid filler port and add a small amount of new windshield washer solution. 3. Turn on the windshield washer spray switch again to clean out the remaining old fluid. 4. When the spray nozzle no longer sprays out fluid for the second time, add about 4L of windshield washer fluid, then close the cap securely. Here is a method for making your own windshield washer fluid: 1. Prepare materials: a bottle with a capacity of more than 2 liters, dish soap, alcohol, and purified water. 2. First, fill the bottle with 2L of clean water. 3. Then, pour about 500ml of 95% medical-grade alcohol into the bottle. 4. Next, add 2 caps of dish soap to the solution. (Do not use laundry detergent as it can clog the windshield washer spray nozzle.) 5. Finally, gently shake the bottle to mix the solution evenly before use.
I've been driving an Audi A4L for several years, and adding windshield washer fluid is as simple as routine maintenance. First, open the engine hood—the blue filler cap is usually located in the upper left corner, marked with a wiper symbol. I pour in the dedicated washer fluid, being careful not to overfill it, stopping once the fluid reaches the level indicator. After securely closing the cap, I test the spray function to ensure the wipers operate properly. In winter, it's essential to use antifreeze washer fluid to prevent system damage from freezing temperatures. Additionally, checking the fluid level regularly is crucial, especially before rainy or snowy weather, to avoid obstructed visibility. Making it a habit to check the level every two weeks can extend the lifespan of headlights and nozzles, reducing unnecessary repair costs.
As a novice driver, I didn't know how to add windshield washer fluid at first, but later learned from a friend. Open the front hood, locate the blue-capped container in the engine compartment with a raindrop pattern printed on it. Don't pour it elsewhere, just pour the washer fluid directly in. Be sure to choose a high-quality brand that won't freeze in winter. After closing the cap, test the spray effect by pulling the wiper lever. I recommend checking the fluid level every time you refuel and topping it up when low, which ensures safer driving visibility.
