Washer fluid used up quickly

[makzimum]

How often do you guys have to top up your washer fluid?  I seem to have to top it up far more regularly than any other car I've ever had.  Not sure quite how regularly I do it, perhaps every 3 weeks at this time of year.  I have Xenons so I assume the washers on them use a bit more but I'm still concerned I have a leak.

2x a month but thats because ive been using loads lately because the weather has been sh1t

I have been topping up way more than any other car I have had (including cars with xenons) but put it down to the bad weather we have had this winter.

Glad it's not just me then, sounds normal I guess.

filled mine up once in 6 months... but thats cuz the cars only done 2600 miles. not been on the road much.

My car's 6 weeks old and it's done about 2600 miles already 
Think i've filled the washers 3 times, thats with xenons.

your quite a squirter then

  to be fair though i did use the second fill up pretty quick on purpose, i got some of the proper VW screen wash so decided to use up the other stuff. I have to say the VW stuff is definately better than what i was using and it's not that expensive either. The guy i know at my local VW garage says that non VW screenwash will eventually crystalise in the jets and the fan spray pattern will stop working properly. You can sort this though by removing the jets and steaping them in hot water.

If you think that's bad spare a thought for the poor mkIV chaps - their was tank is even smaller

How much is the VW stuff?
