Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid for Magotan?
2 Answers
The windshield washer fluid for the Volkswagen New Magotan is added in the reservoir located in the engine compartment. Here is some relevant information about automotive windshield washer fluid: 1. Function of automotive windshield washer fluid: It is formulated with various surfactants and additives, providing functions such as wetting, penetration, and solubilization to effectively clean and remove dirt. It significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, offering anti-freeze properties and quickly dissolving frost. It prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring clear and transparent windshields with unobstructed visibility. It also eliminates static charges on the glass surface, providing anti-static properties. Additionally, it acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the wipers and the glass to prevent scratches. It thoroughly removes dust and stains from smooth surfaces, leaving them shiny with just a wipe—no rinsing required, no water streaks, long-lasting cleanliness, and no damage to the surface. It offers dust-proof, anti-fog, and anti-freeze functions, minimizing dust adhesion. 2. Types of automotive windshield washer fluid: In northern regions, choose anti-freeze windshield washer fluid to prevent the pipes from freezing and cracking before the fluid is used up in winter. In southern regions, windshield washer fluid with added insect remover components is sufficient. 3. Dilution of automotive windshield washer fluid: Most windshield washer fluids need to be diluted before use. Simply follow the instructions on the product manual. The capacity of a car's windshield washer fluid is approximately 1.5L, so a container with a capacity of 1.25L to 1.5L is suitable for dilution. 4. Adding automotive windshield washer fluid: There is a reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment with a cap marked with a windshield washer symbol. Open it and pour in the diluted anti-freeze windshield washer fluid, but do not fill it to the brim. It is sufficient to just see the water surface at the deepest point, and do not exceed the MAX mark.
As someone who frequently maintains my own car, I've found that the windshield washer fluid filler port in the Magotan is exceptionally easy to locate in the engine compartment. Simply open the front hood, and you'll spot a blue cap with a windshield spray icon on either the left or right side of the engine bay. I remember one snowy winter day when I was in a hurry to leave and realized I was out of washer fluid. I quickly popped the hood to refill it, and I'd like to remind everyone to use antifreeze-type washer fluid in cold weather to prevent the lines from freezing. Always let the engine cool for about ten minutes before you start to avoid burns, and make sure to tighten the cap securely after filling to keep debris out. I prefer using a funnel to prevent spills, and checking it monthly helps avoid the awkward situation of suddenly finding out the spray doesn't work while driving.
