Audi A6 Typ 4G: Windshield washer system
![Checking and Filling](images/books/1/index(5).70.png)
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.
