Audi A6 Typ 4G: Windshield washer system

Checking and Filling
Fig. 187 Engine compartment: washer fluid reservoir cap

The windshield washer reservoir contains the cleaning solution for the windshield and the headlight washer system.

To reduce the risk of lime scale deposits on the spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts of calcium. Always add window cleaner to the water.

When the outside temperatures are cold, an anti-freezing agent should be added to the water so that it does not freeze.

Note

  • The concentration of anti-freezing agent must be adjusted to the vehicle operating conditions in the respective climate. A concentration that is too high can lead to vehicle damage.
  • Never add radiator anti-freeze or other additives to the washer fluid.
  • Do not use a glass cleaner that contains paint solvents, because this could damage the paint.
