The windscreen washer fluid reservoir
A
is located in the engine compart-
ment » Fig. 259.
The contents of the container is 3.5 litres, for vehicles with a headlamp clean-
ing system 5.4 litres (for some countries, both versions have container vol-
umes of 5.4 litres).
Use a suitable windscreen washer fluid for the current or expected weather
conditions. We recommend that you use windscreen washer fluid from
ŠKODA Original Accessories.
CAUTION
■
If the vehicle is equipped with a headlight cleaning system, then only use
windscreen washer fluid types that do not attack the polycarbonate coating of
the headlights - otherwise there is a risk of damage to headlights.
■
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when
replenishing it with liquid otherwise the liquid transportation system can be-
come contaminated, which can cause the windscreen washer system to mal-
function.
