Special tools and workshop equipment required

Note  
Vehicles with fan-type spray jets must always be filled with  
“Genuine Volkswagen Windscreen Clear”, as this fluid has a  
low viscosity at temperatures below freezing. Otherwise the  
complicated spray jet system can become blocked by the  
crystallised washer fluid, which affects the spray pattern of the  
spray jet. “Genuine Volkswagen window cleaner” ensures that  
the fan -type washer jets remain fully functional at low tem‐  
peratures.  
Genuine Volkswagen Windscreen Clear - G 052 164- protects  
the spray jets, fluid reservoir and connecting hoses from freez‐  
ing.  
Use Genuine Volkswagen Windscreen Clear - G 052 164- in  
the warmer periods of the year also. The powerful cleanser  
removes wax and oil residue from the glass.  
The frost protection for the window washer system must be  
guaranteed to approx. -25℃.  
Read precise value for the following tests at light-dark border.  
Using a pipette, place a drop of water on the glass to improve  
the readability of the light-dark border. The light-dark border  
can be clearly recognised on the “WATERLINE”.  
– Check concentration of anti-freeze additive using refractome‐  
ter - T10007- (refer to operating instructions).  
The scale -1- of the refractometer is calibrated for Genuine Volks‐  
wagen Windscreen Clear - G 052 164- .  
The scale -2- is designed for commercially available windscreen  
washer fluid as well as a mixture of commercially available Wind‐  
screen clear - G 052 164- .
