Washer reservoir volume?

Post by fattail95 »

Hi Guys,

How large (in litres) is the 406's washer reservoir? Mine is a 406 saloon HDi, with no headlight washers -- don't know if that makes a difference? Reason being is I've bought some Sonax ClearView screenwash, and need to know the volume of the tank so I can dilute it appropriately.

Many thanks!

Get an extra container and dilute the screen wash in that. I use a 2 litre milk bottle. I can't remember the reservoir volume, got a feeling it's about 4 or 5 litres.

Last time I ran the washer reservoir dry, I used one and a half 5-litre jugs to refill it.

No headlight washers, if that makes a difference.

11Kg's too :o

The Volvo's are 5ltrs or 10ltrs (with headlamp wash) so probably they're all about the same.
