Technical Daft screen wash / anti-freeze mix up!

[Tom_B]

I needed to top up my screen wash. Being a daftie, I picked up the wrong bottle: Tesco (ready mixed) Anti-freeze and summer coolant. I've poured half a litre in on top of half a litre or so of screen wash.

Do I pour in loads of water to thin the crazy mixture down? Or is it not an important error?

Any advice gratefully received!

Do you not like your paintwork?

Coolant will strip your paintwork....


DO NOT operate the washer jets


Ideally take the pump off and let it drain (then rinse away well with plenty of water)


If not stick a hose into the bottle and let it purge all the antifreeze out of the top (again keep off paintwork and rinse area afterwards very well
