Why is the windshield washer fluid consumed so quickly?
1 Answers
If the windshield washer fluid in your car is being consumed rapidly, it may be due to a leak in the washer fluid reservoir. Function of windshield washer fluid: Windshield washer fluid helps slow down the aging of wiper blades. When using the wipers, the blades can produce a harsh scraping noise due to their stiffness. The ethylene glycol in the washer fluid has high viscosity, which provides lubrication and reduces friction between the wiper blades and the windshield. Additionally, the presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, offering antifreeze properties and quickly dissolving frost. Location of the washer fluid reservoir: There is a filler-like reservoir near the front bumper in front of the engine. This reservoir is the windshield washer fluid filler. While driving, dust or other debris can obstruct visibility through the windshield, making the washer fluid particularly important.
