The steps for adding windshield washer fluid to a Volkswagen Bora are: 1. Pull the hood safety lever to open the hood; 2. Lift the support rod to secure the hood; 3. Open the cap with the blue spray symbol; 4. Add windshield washer fluid; 5. Close the cap, lower the support rod, and shut the hood. The functions of windshield washer fluid are: 1. Cleaning and removing dirt; 2. Lowering the freezing point of the liquid to prevent freezing and dissolve frost; 3. Forming a monomolecular protective layer on the glass surface to prevent fogging, ensuring clear and transparent visibility; 4. Providing anti-static and anti-corrosion properties; 5. Reducing friction between the wiper and the glass to prevent scratches.
I used to encounter this issue when I first started driving too. The steps for adding windshield washer fluid to a Volkswagen Bora are actually quite simple—just three steps: First, locate the blue cap in the engine compartment, usually near the right headlight marked with a washer fluid or windshield wiper fluid symbol, and gently twist it open without using excessive force. Then, pour in commercially available windshield cleaning fluid, being careful not to exceed the MAX line to prevent overflow and waste. Finally, securely close the cap and test the spray function in the car. I recommend checking the fluid level every time you wash your car, especially before winter, switching to an antifreeze-type fluid to avoid cracking the reservoir. Clear visibility makes driving safer and more worry-free. Neglecting it can lead to poor wiper performance and increase accident risks. Doing it yourself takes just a few minutes—it’s cost-effective and convenient.
