It isn't the fact that one additive is thinner than another, it is down
to the fact that some of the additives crystallise - especially with
heated jets. Slight cristalisation can cause problems with the fan type
jets that VW group like to use so much - god love 'em.

DAve.

I wanted to get some screenwash (green) solution, In the past I am

lead

to

believe the 99 onwards VW use some 'thinner' solution that does not

clog

the

jets, anyways VW is shut today, are there any alternative brands to

use?

TIA


I use Halford own brand, non dillute and rated down to minus 8, good for
clearing frost and ice off the windscreen easily.

I got some oe yesterday, had to get 3* 500ml cos i never had any cash was
2.46ukp and vw didn't accept card payment below 5ukp :-(

I have the fan spray nozzles and was informed by a non vw employee that

the

other stuff can clog the nozzles, trouble is already the rear nozzle is
hardly pumping up the screen after only 8k5 miles :-( it's not frozen btw.



The halfords stuff is thin anyway so no clogging problems there. Its nice to
see people in the car park at night scraping their windows off while I sit
there and spray for a few seconds.
