The windscreen washer fluid reservoir
A
is located in the engine compart-
ment » Fig. 108.
The cleaning fluid is provided for the cleaning of the front and rear window.
The capacity of the tank is about 3 litres.
Water alone is not sufficient to intensively clean the windscreen. We recom-
mend using clean water together with a screen cleaner from the range of
ŠKODA Original Accessories (with antifreeze in winter), which will remove any
stubborn dirt.
Under exceptional circumstances, methylated spirits can also be used if no
screen cleaner with antifreeze is available. The concentration of methylated
spirits must not be more than 15 %. The freeze protection at this concentration
is sufficient only to -5 °C.
CAUTION
■
Under no circumstances must radiator antifreeze or other additives be added
to the windscreen washer fluid.
■
Do not remove the filter from the windscreen washer fluid reservoir when re-
filling, as this may cause contamination of the liquid transportation system,
leading in turn to a windscreen washer system malfunction.
