Any car I've had has taken about 4 litres to fill to the brim so i wouldn't worry

Keep filling takes a bitty more.....

I've never had screen wash that wasn't a concentrated solution. So just keep pouring water in, 3 litres would be good as it would give you 25% mix for winter.

Have you ever thought before adding your post that , not everybody knows everything that's why Forums are here to help people !

Yes i did think, hence my reply.

If my post offends you, then you should realize the internet is full of different views from different people, your views apparently differ from mine, therefore we see thing's differently.

but honestly, struggling to fill a washer bottle and is out on the road driving, no wonder insurance is high and there is so many crashes.

I'm pretty sure there are many things you don't know and i'll be looking forward to your posts ;) , they will be interesting i'm sure for someone that assumes that people should know every thing , but un-like you and many others the internet is full of people wishing to gain knowledge and learn and not look down on people that ask questions.

The forum is here to gain idea's and knowledge , not to look down on people asking questions how ever simple they may be to others. !

Happy New year what ever planet your from !:P

That is patronising and unecessary.

maybe so, but with this thread having over 300 views and only 13 reply's, 3 of which are mine, then im guessing ALOT of people were at least thinking what i said.

you say im patronising, i say im stating the obvious

unnecessary, maybe, but at some point someone would have said something, that,s the way it is.

If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all :P My mother always told me that... I rarely listen :P

arbgarry. A lot of thought must have went into such a constructive response to the question. Well done.

Hi David,

As mentioned, the screenwash container is about 4 litres. I usually put in a 2 litre bottle of concentrated screen wash and fill the rest up with water. You can also buy ready-mixed screen-wash which is slightly cheaper and means that you don't need to add water. Hope this helps!

Just brim it with water now and it should be good to go.Its not an exact science so I don't think it matters how much of either or you put in.You might use allot of it this time of year anyway and may need to put more in before you know it. :)

Hi if you do not water down the concentrate you may get a blockage in the filter and your washers will not work.Had this

on the wifes KA not coved under warranty just have to pull out washer motor and wash filter . :)
