Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid in Lavida?
2 Answers
The windshield washer fluid filler port of the Lavida is located on the right side of the engine compartment. The procedure for adding windshield washer fluid to Volkswagen Lavida: 1. There is a windshield washer fluid level indicator light on the car's dashboard, which starts flashing when the fluid is nearly depleted. 2. To add windshield washer fluid, first open the front hood. The hood release is usually located under the dashboard in front of the driver's seat. Gently pull the hood release to open it. 3. After opening the hood, locate the washer fluid reservoir, which has a cap marked with the same symbol as the indicator light. 4. Open the reservoir cap and add the windshield washer fluid, paying attention to the marked level line inside the reservoir to avoid overfilling.
Every time I refill the windshield washer fluid, I just open the hood and spot that blue cap—it's located in the left corner, on a plastic reservoir marked with a spray symbol. Last winter when switching to antifreeze washer fluid, I double-checked with the mechanic to ensure I never pour it into the red coolant reservoir, as that could cause engine overheating. Using a funnel during refills helps prevent spills, and filling just up to the marked line on the reservoir is sufficient; overfilling risks overflow and potential paint corrosion. It's advisable to check the washer fluid level at least monthly, especially before highway trips.
