screen wash problem

[Ryan Trevelyan]

hi,

dont know if anyone has come across this i have a 2019 leon and when i try to top my screen wash up it sits in the pipe and takes ages to filter through!

pain in the arse when ive got a low amount in its taking forever to top up.

anyone know if this is common or am i stupidly missing something and doing it wrong haha

Is it getting hung up at the filter near the top? Remove and wash it out.

You'll find the mesh filter is blocked with crud, although that normally happens over a much longer time - did you use pond water previously?
