Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid for Soueast DX7?
4 Answers
Soueast DX7's windshield washer fluid is added into the washer fluid reservoir located on the right side of the engine compartment. The reservoir cap features a symbol resembling an indicator light. Simply open the cap to add the fluid, and check the dipstick inside the reservoir to ensure the appropriate amount. Taking the 2020 Soueast DX7 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4570mm, width 1905mm, height 1720mm, wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The 2020 Soueast DX7 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 197PS, maximum power of 145kW, maximum torque of 285Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving my SouEast DX7 for three years, and adding windshield washer fluid is something I can do with my eyes closed. Open the engine compartment, and you'll find the blue cap under the left side of the windshield with a water spray pattern printed on it. Don't mix it up—the pink cap next to it is for the coolant reservoir, and the black one is for engine oil. Friends in the north, remember to switch to antifreeze washer fluid in winter. Once, I got lazy and used the regular kind, and the nozzle froze, leaving the wipers to scrape dry and almost scratch the glass. Also, don't fill it to the brim—leave some room for expansion.
Last time I helped my neighbor aunt add windshield washer fluid, I realized the DX7's design is quite user-friendly. The small blue cap near the windshield on the left side of the engine compartment is particularly noticeable, even for those with presbyopia. A reminder for beginners: the filler neck is much narrower than the engine oil filler, so using a funnel is more convenient. Once, a repair shop apprentice mistakenly added brake fluid to the washer reservoir, requiring the entire system to be disassembled and cleaned, which was both costly and time-consuming. For those who frequently drive on highways, it's advisable to keep two bottles of concentrated windshield washer fluid; a mixing ratio of 1:10 with water is sufficient, and the detergent can also remove insect residue.
The windshield washer fluid filler port of the DX7 is located on the left side of the engine compartment, specifically between the white coolant reservoir and the black brake fluid reservoir. Look for the blue plastic cap with the water spray symbol. To open it, rotate counterclockwise first until you hear a click, then lift it. For standard models, it takes about 2 liters to fill up. Overfilling may cause overflow through the vent hole. Important reminder: Never pour tap water directly into it, as mineral deposits can clog the nozzles. In emergencies, you can use purified water mixed with dishwashing liquid as a substitute, but prolonged use may corrode the rubber hoses.
