This was posted a few weeks ago regarding screenwash where the mixture was 1:1
1/3/5 Series, X1 & X3 3 bottles (3 litres) 6/7 Series & X5 4 bottles (4 litres) So that would lead one to assume 6 litres on a 3 |

Thanks for that....do you know if the washer fluid has a over flow type pipe? or will it just come up right to the top when filling it?

When I fill mine, it will eventually overflow however it gets to a point where it seems to keep taking water even though it looks full so I am guessing there might be an overflow pipe (all be it a small one).

I just wait for the low level light to come on, then put 2 litres of screen wash in then top up with water.
1 litre in summer. There is NO secret or hidden overflow, just keep filling till it keeps coming out of the filler top. If you want to do a mid-fill top up though then you have to pre-mix else you don't know how much space there is... Last edited by doughboy; 01-10-2011 at 04:01 PM.. |
