Windshield washer fluid is added to the independent washer fluid reservoir in the engine compartment of the Tiguan L. Pull the engine compartment release handle inside the cabin, open the engine compartment, locate the washer fluid filler port, and add the fluid. The filler cap has a universal symbol resembling a windshield spray. Windshield washer fluid is a cleaning solution for car windshields and is considered a consumable in automotive use. Its main components include water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. There are several types of windshield washer fluids: Summer type, which contains insect remover additives to quickly eliminate insect residue on the windshield; Winter antifreeze type, which ensures it won't freeze or damage car components even at temperatures below -20°C; and Special antifreeze type, which remains unfrozen at -40°C, making it suitable for extremely cold regions. Automotive windshield washer fluid is widely used for quick cleaning and brightening of car windows, rearview mirrors, household glass, office glass, door and window glass, and decorative glass. It offers comprehensive performance, is easy to use, and can even be homemade. It provides cleaning, antifreeze, antifog, antistatic, lubrication, and anticorrosion properties.

I've been driving the Tiguan L for several years, and its windshield washer fluid filler is located in the engine compartment, generally near the front on the driver's side. The specific method is: first, open the hood release lever inside the cabin, pull it, and the hood will pop open slightly. Walk to the front of the car and lift the hood to find a small blue cap on the right side of the engine compartment, marked with a windshield and washer symbol, shaped like a spray bottle. It's recommended to use antifreeze washer fluid, especially in winter, to prevent freezing and nozzle blockage, and to help the wipers clean the windshield efficiently. The fluid level should usually reach the indicator line below the cap—avoid overfilling to prevent spillage. I make it a habit to check monthly and top up before long trips to ensure the wipers function smoothly.

When adding windshield washer fluid to the Touareg L, the location is quite simple under the hood. Once the hood is opened, you can easily find the blue-capped reservoir, typically positioned at the front-left of the engine bay, clearly marked with a windshield wiper icon. This spot can be confusing with other components, such as the coolant reservoir, but the icon makes it unmistakable. Remember to use a standard washer fluid mixture, not just plain water, to avoid freezing and system damage in winter. I advise everyone to keep the reservoir full—running out of fluid during rainy weather can be a major hassle and compromise driving safety.

I previously bought a Tiguan L and couldn't find where to add windshield washer fluid the first time. It's located in the engine compartment, near the engine, with a cap marked by water ripples or a spray symbol. Just open the cap and fill it with cleaner, usually about one liter in capacity. Refill it promptly when the level is low to ensure proper spraying. This method is simple and effective, with no technical difficulties.

What to Do When Stuck in Traffic

When stuck in traffic, you should pay attention to: 1. Try to offset slightly to the left from the car in front, so that you can see several cars ahead; 2. After the car in front starts moving, leave a car-length distance before starting to follow, while also paying attention to the movements of the four or five cars ahead; 3. Don’t start too quickly or abruptly, and don’t follow too closely; 4. After catching up with the car in front, if the lead car is still moving, you can gently press the accelerator to steadily follow, while watching for any cars on the left or right trying to cut in; 5. Before the car in front comes to a complete stop, don’t let your car stop completely either—be ready to follow at any time.

Should I Get My Car Serviced at a 4S Shop or an Independent Garage?

Whether to get your car serviced at a 4S shop or an independent garage depends on the situation: during the warranty period, it's advisable to service at a 4S shop; after the warranty expires, you can choose either. From an economic standpoint, servicing at an independent garage is recommended post-warranty. However, while 4S shops are more expensive, they are generally more reliable compared to independent garages. If a car is not serviced at a manufacturer-authorized 4S shop, the manufacturer cannot waive its three-guarantee responsibility for issues unrelated to the service. Although this is theoretically the case, it's often difficult to enforce in reality. 4S shops may require the car owner to provide sufficient and legitimate evidence proving that the problematic parts were not affected during servicing at an independent garage.

Does Engine Oil Need to Be Changed When It Turns Black?

Engine oil turning black does not necessarily mean it needs to be changed. It is a normal phenomenon as engine oil has strong adsorption and cleaning capabilities, which allow it to clean and absorb fine debris and impurities in the engine. Additionally, the high operating temperatures of the engine can cause the oil to darken over time. If the oil has turned black but its viscosity and other properties remain largely unaffected and it does not appear overly dirty, there is no urgent need to replace it. However, if the oil has been in use for an extended period and appears significantly dirty, it is advisable to change it. Premature oil changes can lead to unnecessary waste, while extending the change interval may result in early engine wear and increased carbon deposits. It is best to follow the maintenance recommendations provided in the manufacturer's manual for oil changes.
