With decades of driving experience, I'm quite familiar with adding windshield washer fluid. In the Volkswagen Lavida, the windshield washer reservoir is located in the engine compartment. Generally, after you pop the hood, you'll find a small blue cap on the left side or in the middle, marked with a windshield and wiper icon. Just lift it and pour in dedicated windshield washer fluid. Remember not to mistakenly add it to the coolant reservoir, which has a red cap – adding it wrongly could damage your car. I personally check it once a month and top it up when the level is low, saving both money and hassle. Especially during rainy days or winter, sufficient windshield washer fluid ensures clear visibility and reduces the risk of rear-end collisions. By the way, always use proper windshield washer fluid instead of tap water to avoid nozzle clogging from mineral deposits. Regular maintenance on such small things can prolong your car's life and make driving safer and more reassuring.

I recently learned to do some minor car maintenance myself, and it's not hard to find the windshield washer fluid filler port on the Lavida. After opening the front hood and entering the engine compartment, it's located slightly to the front right—a blue-capped reservoir with a symbol resembling water spraying onto glass. Just pour the windshield washer fluid directly there, being careful not to confuse it with other fluids like the engine oil port. I find regular supermarket windshield washer fluid works just fine—affordable and practical. Make sure to close the cap tightly to prevent leaks and avoid dirtying the car. Adding windshield washer fluid is crucial, as driving with a dirty windshield in foggy conditions or at night can impair visibility and lead to accidents. I recommend checking and topping it off every time you wash your car—it's a good way to learn basic car knowledge while saving money on trips to the repair shop.
