Where is the windshield washer fluid filler port located on the Volkswagen Lavida?
2 Answers
The windshield washer fluid filler port on the Volkswagen Lavida is located on the right side of the engine compartment. Since windshield washer fluid is a consumable item, it is necessary to check it regularly. The washer fluid reservoir usually has a marked line to align with, and it is advised not to exceed this line when adding fluid. Below are the performance characteristics of automotive windshield washer fluid: Cleaning Performance: It is composed of a combination of various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby aiding in cleaning and removing dirt. Anti-freezing Performance: It can significantly lower the freezing point of the liquid, thus providing an anti-freezing effect and quickly dissolving frost. Anti-fogging Performance: A single-molecule protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent, with a clear field of vision.
When I first got my Lavida, I also spent a long time looking for the washer fluid filler port. Open the hood, stand directly in front of the car and look towards the left front. There's a blue cap about the size of a palm with a windshield washer symbol on it - that's the one. The cap twists right off. Just be careful not to pour the fluid into the nearby red oil filler cap by mistake. Remember to use antifreeze washer fluid in winter - last year I forgot to switch and ended up cracking the nozzles. After filling, just tighten the cap. It's really simple - a big bottle from the supermarket costs just over 10 yuan and lasts ages.
