Audi Q3 windscreen washer bottle top-up

The second-generation Audi Q3 is offered here in 35TFSI form only, which means all three models in the range use the 1,4-litre turbocharged petrol engine with direct fuel injection. The engine develops 110 kW and 250 Nm of torque, which gives the compact SUV 0-100 km/h acceleration in just under 9 seconds and a top speed of 204 km/h.

The range consists of the Q3, the Q3 Advanced Line and the Q3 S Line. All of the latest-shape Q3s sold here since launch in July 2019 are still covered by a maintenance plan, but one of the under-bonnet tasks you may need to do yourself is to top up the wind screen washer bottle. This requires no tools, but it is important that you locate the correct container to do the top-up!

Topping up the Q3’s screen washer bottle

1. The first step is to locate the screen washer bottle. In the case of the Audi Q3, the bottle is located in the right front side of the engine bay, when viewing the car from the front.

 

3. The cap is made of plastic. To open it you simply grab hold of the tab on the right side of the cap and flip it open. The cap is retained by a ring that prevents it from being separated by from the bottle, so you don’t have to worry about losing it!

 

 

4. We find the most handy way to top up a windscreen washer bottle is to use a common 500 ml drinking water bottle. Use normal tap water to top up the bottle. Special screen-wash preparations are available from motor spares outlets, but good-old tap water works very well and costs virtually nothing!

 

 

5. Top up the fluid bottle to just below the top of the screen wash bottle spout.

 

 

6. Close the cap firmly by hand. Test the screen washer function on the wiper stalk, just to make sure the system is functioning properly before setting out on your next

journey.
