Adblue question

[Buckman]

We use Prestone and it is almost neat in the winter months. Summer about 50/50.

Thanks, just wondering how we have diverted to screenwash from adblue. Has the “Greater Diverter” struck again?

I think that was me way back in #34.

The portable pump I bought with squeeze trigger tap is back on sale

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.

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 a another 5ltr bottle of Prestone. Winter is an expensive season! LOL!

I only ever go to 50/50 with the Prestone Extreme and in non winter months I find 1:20 works well.

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 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?

At times “spend to save” is a good approach.
