Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid in Audi A6?
1 Answers
Audi A6 owners can add windshield washer fluid by pulling the engine hood release lever located at the left side of the driver's footwell. After opening the hood, you will find two blue caps inside. One is a twist-off cap, and the other is a push-down type. Open the secured small blue cap to add the windshield washer fluid. Below are the functions of windshield washer fluid: 1. Cleaning Performance: Windshield washer fluid is formulated with various surfactants and additives. Surfactants typically have wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing functions, which help in cleaning and removing dirt. 2. Anti-freeze Performance: The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing anti-freeze properties and quickly dissolving frost. 3. Anti-fog Performance: A single molecular protective layer forms on the glass surface. This protective film prevents the formation of fog droplets, ensuring the windshield remains clear and transparent for optimal visibility. 4. Anti-static Performance: After cleaning with windshield washer fluid, substances adsorbed on the glass surface eliminate static charges, providing anti-static properties. 5. Lubrication Performance: The ethylene glycol in the fluid has a high viscosity, offering lubrication to reduce friction between the wiper blades and the glass, preventing scratches. 6. Anti-corrosion Performance: The fluid contains various corrosion inhibitors, ensuring it is completely safe for all metals, automotive paint, and rubber with no corrosive effects.
