Why do we need to fill the screenwasher bottle ?

[Lordbenny]

I just strap an 11 year old Romanian boy to my roof a give him a poke a couple of times a week. He then squirts water over my screen and gets his squeege out!

Why Romanian?

Oh-Dear-Lord.....

If there were ever a time for an epic fail, this would be it.

You're either trolling or have a total lack of common sense.

Unless you plan to fill your car with industry shuttle grade anti-freeze, the stuff you buy from you garage is totally harmless to your paintwork. In addition, have you ever driven in -16C? If so, you will realise that even the hottest engines will not defrost plain water. Perhaps however you replace your engine coolant with rainwater to allow the engine to run warmer in winter for the purpose of defrosting your screen-wash reservoir?

My colleagues here on the training course I am on are wondering why I am ROFL....

Great thread, has made my day!

Because it doesn't rain antifreeze and cleaning agents? (yet)

I wouldn't put antifreeze in your screen wash if I were you

Great post following the 11th driest month of April in the last 100 years.

It's even worse if your engine is nowhere near where you put the screenwash...

No, that wouold be you.

Gosh, childish name-calling is fun.

Seriously, most screen-wash I buy contains antifreeze. I presume your point is that it would be daft to put in full strength antifreeze?

Nope, but anything is better than fetching the tennis ball from under the sofa for the 20th time today!

No one cares about your dogs.

This thread is for the serious business of coming up with new ways to clean our window screens.

I think we need water or cleaner in there. But it amazes me that no car manufacturer (as far as I know) has tried heated water / fluid washing?
In the 80's, I got a thing that was like a heat exchanger for washer fluid, on a top hose, and it was excellent. In winter especially, it seemed to really help frozen washers / screen problems.

Er, my 2003 S Class has this.

The heater pipes are routed through the washer reservoir.

Works great

As does my 1999 legacy and my old focus st.
