    Me too - I thought I read the manual carefully and concluded there was nothing wrong with plain old h20. Is my car going to fall apart?

    You might get algae in the bottom of the washer bottle, which may block the pump and squirters.

    That's the one mate, its cheap enough and seems to last a fair while. All you do is fill up the top chamber, and use that to top the entire fill bottle (mixed with water of course).

    Are you serious. Water does the trick and if you really feel the need some glass cleaner.

    Is the overuse on MY17 models because it's also got the front light washers?
    I can't imagine why it'd be using much otherwise.

    That's a lot of info there! I suppose I'll check in with dealer on their price per bottle here. But I guess a lot of washer fluids seems to be drained up by headlights, not sure why the settings is set to wash headlamp like once every 2nd time the window washer is pulled?

    Thought about just adding water, but it just doesn't clear the glass as great, especially in cold conditions.

    I never needed to top up my MY17 (162TSI) since It was delivered on 1 May. And, we use it quite frequently.
