Jim Grant's Tech Tips Windshield Washer Fluid In The Radiator
Q:
I accidentally
poured windshield fluid into my radiator. Has it caused major damage?
Do I need to take it to a mechanic right away?
A:
It's
not a good thing to mix coolant with window washer fluid. You should also
know that you are not the first and you will not be the last person to
perform such a wondrous feat. My suggestion? Take your vehicle to your
repair facility and have them drain and refill the cooling system, don't
forget the coolant reservoir too. Just be thankful you didn't put anti-freeze
in the windshield washer reservoir. That stuff really makes a mess of
the windshield.
