Wind Chill. Can easily drop the temperature 10degrees or so.

Washers activate, drip, freeze the washer in position.

Popped back down so obviously thawed out during the day, but absoloutley nothing was happening this morning at -5 no light spray and no windcsreen spray.  Very very Dangerous on a 30 mile motorway drive.

The more I think about this the more I think it is screenwash, simply because it froze when it made contact with the sides of the car around the light.  Trip to VW on the way home, coupled with 5.5 litres of shoddy windscreen wash going over the Car, hoorah for quick dispensing light washer jets!  I would do TPS but I'm not trade and it's a bit of a drive.

Moral: All screenwashes are not created equal!

Most TPS depots have a cash sales counter for the public. They only deliver to the trade, but will sell to anyone. A sale is a sale after all.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Thanks Chaps!

VW Gunk Purchased, screenwash drained, screeenwash mixed and refilled.

Pop Golf fact: You get a 1mile of driving with persistent pushes of the windscreen wash stalk (With the Winter Pack). 

Sorry if I didn't spot you and you got sprayed as a pedestrian....but my windscreen was covered in screen wash!

Merry Christmas!!  :grin:

PS. Common Sense FTW!
