Where is the windshield washer fluid reservoir located in the Audi A4L?

The windshield washer fluid reservoir in the Audi A4L is located on the rear side of the engine hood pressure strut, with a cap marked with a washer symbol. To add windshield washer fluid to the Audi A4L, follow these steps: 1. Use the wiper control knob to spray out the old washer fluid first, emptying the existing fluid. Open the washer fluid filler port and add a small amount of new washer fluid solution. 2. Turn on the washer fluid spray switch again to flush out any remaining old fluid. 3. When no more fluid sprays out from the nozzle during the second spray, add approximately 4 liters of new washer fluid. After filling, securely close the cap.
As someone who frequently helps friends with car repairs, I'm familiar with the setup of the Audi A4L. After opening the hood, you'll find a blue or white plastic reservoir in the left corner with a windshield washer icon on the cap. Adding washer fluid is simple: wait for the engine to cool down before proceeding to avoid burns; unscrew the cap, pour in the dedicated washer fluid without overfilling to prevent spills. Be careful not to use plain tap water as it can clog the nozzles, and opt for antifreeze type in winter to avoid freezing cracks. As a friendly reminder, regularly checking the fluid level can prevent the awkward situation of running out while driving, and also take a look at whether the wiper blades need replacement for peace of mind. These minor maintenance tasks can be easily done yourself, saving you the hassle of visiting a repair shop.
I've been driving an Audi A4L for over five years and always add windshield washer fluid myself. After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes for it to cool down, then open the hood to easily spot the transparent container on the right side with a windshield washer symbol on its cap. Simply unscrew it to pour in the fluid, but avoid cheap products to better protect your wipers. Never perform this operation on a hot engine, and wear gloves to keep your hands clean. DIY not only saves money but also builds independence, while checking tire pressure makes for more thorough maintenance. Using high-quality washer fluid to maintain clear visibility is an essential habit.
