Re: Screenwash
£2.70 incl vat at my local TPS so I'll be having some of that.
Re: Screenwash
Got myself 3 bottles of OEM concentrate from TPS.
What's the mixture split for this then? Bottle doesnt say!
Sales guy said 50:50. Is he right??

Re: Screenwash
Bottle does say, you need to peel the label back. It's not immediately obvious
I mix 1:2 ratio

Re: Screenwash
I had a bottle of this for over a year and couldn't work out how to get it out of the container. A friend of mine then told me to unscrew the top and hey presto out it came. Never mentioned that on the instructions :-)
I always thought you needed to be trade to buy from TPS. Next time I need some stuff I'll give them a try, cheers

How you going on with the inside symbology ?
One bottle to 4 rain drops

BTW, it highly flammable stuff.
Thats the other peel back label warning. Nice lighter fuel!

Re: Screenwash
Might pour half a bottle of the stuff straight into the system....the damn headlight washers are stuck in up position! Guess the previous mix of screenwash I put in was on the weak side.

Re: Screenwash
I've got into the habit of switching the lights off when activating the washers to prevent this happening.
Also, I don't use the rear wash wipe either in low temperatures as the nozzle can freeze over and the back pressure can cause the pipe to blow off

Re: Screenwash
I've put half a litre of the OEM stuff into the mix and it's topped up the washer bottle. Should work ok now.
You love my logical paddy fits really don't ya

Re: Screenwash
lol. TPS is just the VW garage I went to today. Drat. Should of asked whilst I was there, but I can easily call tomorrow. I can't go to the dealer where I purchased from as it's too far away and I totally forgot to ask them when I was there.

Re: Screenwash
Two 5ltr tubs (concentrated) think it was a fiver for two from Makro - at that price you can put it in neat or nearly neat so it dont freeze

Re: Screenwash
Run out of screenwash for the first time since I got the rocco. Do you recommend the VW stuff? Do you need to order it in or can you just go in and buy?
cheers
