In my infinite wisdom I decided to fill up the washer fluid in the dark. Couldn’t find the bloody cap could I!??!
20 mins later I’ve done it. I’m stubborn.

I find the location of the cap is a bit awkward. I'm not a particularly tall people but I need to bend forward and hide my head underneth the bonnet when filling and it guarantee that my head will hit the bonnet after the re-filling is done. Maybe I'm also too stubborn to change my washer fluid filling up posture.

Is it different from mine? It’s on the side of the bonnet. Very easy access. Just couldn’t see it!q96169we wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 11:52 pm I find the location of the cap is a bit awkward.

It's the same place. Just a bit too close to the bonnet hinge so there isn't too much space. It is quite easy to access but I usually want to have top down view when re-filling, which means my head is below the bonnet.

I must admit the first time I came to refill I couldn't find it and had to sheepishly look in the manual....... Nicely away from the engine!

Thing is the manual doesn’t actually say where it is! Maybe I missed that in the manual too.r2uzenblot wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 12:10 am I must admit the first time I came to refill I couldn't find it and had to sheepishly look in the manual....... Nicely away from the engine!
It’s the first car I have which it isn’t in the actual engine bay. I prefer where it is as it’s much easier to fill without spilling on some belts or something.
Btw. Service inclusive includes washer fluid.

Yes I remember you are right. I think I had to google it.

The first time I put my ///MR on charge, it took my daughter about 30 seconds to google it. But only after I had spent 20mins scratching my head and cursing BMW.r2uzenblot wrote: ↑Wed Feb 01, 2023 10:42 am Yes I remember you are right. I think I had to google it.

I only found it by looking for engine images on Google. Nearly filled the radiator fluid with windscreen washer stuff.
