I was filling up the screen wash in my car as my wife and daughter both arrived home and both asked if I could top up theirs as well.
It was then I noticed that the nearly empty large bottle of concentrated screen wash was actually the ready to use watered down stuff, so not having enough to fill all three, I had to water it down.
My wife currently has a Mitsubishi Colt, and her previous three cars both had the screen wash filler at the RHS at the front of engine bay.
So by habit, I lift the flip up cap off in that area and pour in an initial shot of the mixture and add water to see how much it needs. Fortunately it didn't take too much, because whilst putting the cap back on I noticed the washer tank near the bulkhead at the rear LHS.
So I'd topped up the bloody radiater header tank with diluted screenwash!
I syphoned out as much as I could, so there ain't too much left in.
Now I have the obvious question is -
Is this going to be a problem on an engine with an alloy head?
Or am I worrying for nothing?
