Checking and relling levels
ing power, notably increasing braking dis-
tance, and could result in the total failure of
the brake system.
●
Be sure to always use the correct brake
uid. Only use brake uid that expressly
meets the VW 501 14 standard.
●
You can buy VW 501 14 standard brake uid
at a specialised CUPRA service or at a SEAT
Oicial Service. If none is available, use only
high-quality brake uid that meets DIN ISO
4925 CLASS 4 standards, or USA Standards
FMVSS116DOT4.
●
The replacement brake uid must be new.
●
Brake uid should be stored in the closed
original container in a safe place out of reach
of children. Risk of poisoning!
NOTICE
Brake uid should not come into contact
with the vehicle paintwork, as it is abrasive.
Note
Brake uid is an environmental pollutant.
Collect any spilt service uids and allow a
professional to dispose of them.
Windscreen washer reser-

Checking the level of the window
washer tank and relling it
Fig.196 In the engine compartment: blue
cap of the windscreen washer tank.
Check the water level in the windscreen
washer reservoir regularly and top up as re-
quired.
The window washer tank contains liquid deter-
gent for the windscreen and rear window.
There is a sieve in the ller neck of the washer
uid tank. When lling the tank, this sieve re-
tains large dirt particles so that they do not
reach the nozzles. Do not remove the sieve
except for cleaning. If the sieve is damaged or
not tted, these dirt particles could enter the
system during lling and clog the windscreen
washer nozzles.
●
Raise the bonnet ››› on page285.
●
The windscreen washer reservoir is marked
with the symbol on the cap.
●
Check if there is enough uid in the tank.
Plain water is not enough to clean the wind-
screen and headlights. We recommend that
you always add a product to the windscreen
washer uid.
Recommended windscreen wipers
●
For the hottest seasons we recommend
summer G 052 184 A1 for clear glass. Propor-
tions of the mixture in the washer uid tank:
1:100 (1 part concentrate per 100 parts water).
●
All year round, G 052 164 A2 for clear glass.
Approximate proportion of the winter mixture,
up to -18°C (0°F): 1:2 (1 part concentrate per
2 parts water); otherwise, a 1:4 proportion of
mixture in the washer uid tank.
The capacity of the windscreen washer tank is
approximately 4.5 litres.
