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??

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

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

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

Tested.

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.

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

Ah forgot it only triggers when the lights are on! My lights are always on auto so I don't even think about it.
Still Trix put me at ease anyway and they went back into their hole by lunch time phew!!

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.

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

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
