I think that was me way back in #34.Thanks, just wondering how we have diverted to screenwash from adblue. Has the “Greater Diverter” struck again?
Slight change of subject away from my original post on Adlue as that issue has been resolved.You buy windscreen washer fluid in 20 litre containers? That would last me for ever, I only use about 4 litres/year of the Prestone concentrate.
I only ever go to 50/50 with the Prestone Extreme and in non winter months I find 1:20 works well.Slight change of subject away from my original post on Adlue as that issue has been resolved.
Topping up the Jeep and the Corolla used up 5 litres of neat Prestone and both were about half full. I paid £9 for 5ltr and the price at the moment is £14 for 5Ltr.
Although only outside for about 10 minutes both hands were nearly frozen. I have decided that the pump is a better option and have ordered that in addition to an another 5ltr bottle of Prestone. Winter is an expensive season! LOL!![]()
It has been -1C for two days running. Both cars probably had some of the previous mix left over so although I poured it in neat, it was probably 75% Prestone. Many years ago we had sudden cold snap and the washer water in the Avensis froze even though it was a bit of a mix. The washer bottle cracked and I think it was £90 to replace.I only ever go to 50/50 with the Prestone Extreme and in non winter months I find 1:20 works well.
At times “spend to save” is a good approach.It has been -1C for two days running.

I often wonder about the tubes leading from the washer bottle to the window as surely the fluid if them would freeze a lot quicker than the liquid in the washer bottle?
