Where is the windshield washer fluid filler port on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class?

The windshield washer fluid filler port on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is located under the hood. Here is some information about Mercedes-Benz vehicles: Evolution of the logo: The original Mercedes-Benz emblem featured the word 'Benz' surrounded by wheat ears. In 1926, when Daimler and Benz merged, the star emblem and the wheat ears were combined, with 'Mercedes-Benz' written below. Later, the wheat ears were replaced with a circle, and the 'Mercedes-Benz' wording was removed. Common faults: When the four-wheel alignment is off, the vehicle may feel heavy when turning, have poor return-to-center performance, and the tires may show uneven wear. According to maintenance statistics, Mercedes-Benz W140 chassis models often experience alignment issues after driving about 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers due to damaged suspension bushings.
As a newbie driving a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, I recently encountered this issue too. The windshield washer fluid filler port is quite easy to locate in the engine compartment. After opening the front hood, look to the left side - you'll find a blue cap with a water spray symbol, that's the one. Remember to use -30°C antifreeze washer fluid, as using the wrong type in northern winters can freeze and crack the entire pipeline. The filler neck is transparent with clearly marked water level indicators - fill it until about two fingers' width below the rim, as overfilling may cause spillage on bumpy roads. By the way, Mercedes designed this filler port position quite reasonably, unlike some cars that require removing panels, so beginners don't need to worry about the operation.
