Not sure why people think VW washer fluid is expensive, it's not. I've just bought 5l of quantum premium for 15 quid which will last ages. I've never bought any other washer fluid 🤷‍♂️

That's a good price, where from?

Works even better when it's £7.44 from vwspares

ECP for Bosch wopers when on offer obviouslt, every week :smiley:
I use OEM screenwash as I tried BMW screenwash thinking it would be comparable but felt the spray wasn't as good.
Keep looking on ebay and it crops up occasionally cheap. I also asked local dealer to quote me for bulk buy of a box of 10 & the price came down a fair bit.

Somebody posted a link to https://www.windscreenwipersdirect.co.uk earlier, and I've used them a few times in the past, always well priced and fast delivery.

I bought five litres of Quantum screenwash concentrate from eBay before winter set in.  I can't remember how much it was, but it was relatively cheap.  Make sure that you get the variety for use with spray washer jets, or you risk becoming clogged up, and nobody wants that.

Depends how old your car is. I was told that the washer jets that produce the fan shaped output on the windscreen are a lot finer than usual and that mixing different washer fliuds can cause the fliud to sort of gel up (to be fair I saw this on a Ford) and block the washer jets. According to the dealer if you don't use VW washer fluid and the jets do block that's not included in the warranty, if you do then it is. Don't know how true this is of course!
