Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid for Audi A3?
2 Answers
Audi A3's windshield washer fluid is added at the rear side of the engine hood pressure strut, where the cap is marked with a washer symbol. Windshield washer fluid, commonly known as car windshield cleaning fluid, is a consumable item in vehicle use. The body dimensions of the Audi A3 are: length 4351mm, width 1815mm, height 1458mm, with a wheelbase of 2630mm and a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters. The Audi A3 is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW at 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 250 Nm at 1750 to 3000 rpm.
When I first drove an Audi A3, I also asked about the windshield washer fluid location. Before every drive, I make it a habit to check: after opening the hood, there’s usually a blue plastic reservoir in the front-right or front-left corner of the engine bay, with a wiper or spray symbol on the cap. Just pour in the windshield washer fluid you bought—don’t overfill it past the MAX line to prevent spills. I recommend using antifreeze washer fluid, especially in winter to prevent nozzle blockages from freezing. Be careful not to confuse it with other reservoirs, like the coolant tank, to avoid damaging parts. Check the fluid level regularly and top it up when low to ensure smooth cleaning performance when using the wipers. The whole process is simple—just a 2-3 minute DIY task—saving you a trip to the repair shop.
