      From a review (translated by Amazon from German):

      *** Update even if you dissolve several tablets in the 4 liters or one tablet in a spray bottle with 750ml water you can not notice any cleaning performance. It cleans like normal water and has no additional cleaning or dissolving power for grease resists, fly dirt or anything else. Absolute zero number of the product.

    • Sleepycat3 on 25/09/2024 - 19:22

      Yuck, it probably has bicarb in it to make it effervescent, which means it can leave water stains. No thanks!

      • banana365 on 25/09/2024 - 22:47

        Surely it would only do so if the water was acidic. If that's the case, you've got bigger problems. Even then, it would neutralise fairly quickly, a few minutes maybe. Certainly way less than a washer bottle lasts, even on particularly filthy trips.

        I bought a Golf R MK6 brand new, then a polo tsi, then tiguan 2018 162tsi. All brand new.

        Golf R
        Gearbox failed.
        Haldex stopped working and was replaced (car was FWD and only found out when it was raining).
        Air con failed and replaced.
        Mechatronics replaed twice.

        Polo tsi
        Driving to work and car gets stuck in 1st gear. They can't engage any other gear and had to be towed back to dervice centre.
        Gearbox replaced.

        Tiguan
        Gearbox failed and replaced
        Sunroof leaking but fixed.
        Wiper issues motors replaced.
        Heaps of stuff that hinestly i csnt remember.
        Window motor drivers door failed.

        All rhe above was done under warranty, but honestly, now that i have a better job was going to get an S3 but passed on that and went electric. Wont miss the servicing costs either. I know the golf and tiguan had a lot more stuff i cant remember and frankly i dont want to, but yeah it was awful.

            @viper8548: The cars are great to drive and be in when they’re working.

            The sheer number of mechatronics and gearboxes they’ve killed however makes me think they’re pretty rough on them.

            They’re automated manual gearboxes and therefore need to be treated with some mechanical sympathy.

            @ripoffmerchant: The polo was my sisters car whos never lost a point in her life.. the tiguan was my wifes car. The R was mine.

            The one constant is that its a VW.

        • 811b11e8 on 26/09/2024 - 12:07

          Surprised you didn’t have more issues. I house sat for VW Passat owner, that had mystery flat batteries. VW dealer kept telling him it was because he let it sit too long.

          The glovebox eventually caught fire they found the wiring was rubbish and the light was constantly on even when the glove box was closed.

          Could have happened to any car I supposed but took VW almost three years to get to the bottom of a simple electric fault and it was only after the car caught fire.

          It was an all day activitity every time that piece of shit needed to be towed too, his apartment wasn’t tall enough for the truck to get in. They would send a big flat bed, who would then call someone else to tow it out from under the apartment.

          Regretted house sitting for him just because of the amount of trouble I had with that car.

          Just to balance things out, I bought a brand new VW Up! from a dealer in Brisbane when they were discontinued for $9,990 driveaway. Brand new. I put 291,000km on it and all it owed me outside of regular servicing was brakes, tyres and batteries. Averaged 4.4L/100km over the life of the car. Granted, it did have no features at all.

        • eek on 17/10/2024 - 14:26

          Daaamn, that's a bad run! Out of those 3 I'd expect the Polo to have failed.

          I've owned two of the three in your list and have been absolutely great. The MK6 Golf R I bolted a Garrett GTX2867r turbo, water meth and other mods on, with 100% stock internals. Did it at 120k kms and 60k kms later it's still going strong! Absolutely no issues at all.

          Still own a Tiguan (my second 162TSI R-line). It's still under warranty and touch wood is OK. Only thing that died so far was an ambient lighting LED in the interior door trim which was fixed under warranty within a day.

            @eek: The Golf R was a beautiful car. Had a lot of issues and warranty work during its 3 years , however once all got resolved i kept it for a few more years and gave it to a family member and its been great. It doesnt have meth, but is gots some mods (DP, fuel pump, intake, FMIC, Custom dyno etc) and goes great.

            I actually ended up putting a Golf R turbo, FMIC, DP and custom dyno tune on the tiguan.. also still going well.. but man again those three years were a nightmare also.

            I think i mentioned above, but this time i was going to get an S3 but mrs blocked the transaction sighting the emotional damage.

            When working cars have been great, just hard to recommend when 3/3..

            Did you 1/4 mile the R? Ours ran a 12.7, but a decent launch control added, would see an easy sub 12.5 all day long.

            I saw a golf R, with just a hardcore launch controller, stage 1 tune, air and DP crack a 12.1 which is ridiculously good for light mods, he did have lighter wheels also. Mind you this is 2014 so 10 years I'm sure a lots changed.

              +1

              @BusMan247: 11.86 in full trim (with 2 empty child seats in the back) was the best I got the Golf R. I didn't want to go balls-out crazy on the torque delivery and launch control given it was all stock except for bolt-ons (Custom fabricated manifold, full frame Garrett turbo, LPFP, HPFP, downpipe, intake runner flap delete, WMI, Haldex controller, etc). Could have pushed harder on the tune but left it as is for some reliability for a daily driven vehicle. Last I heard it's still going strong.

              Great to hear you modded the Tiguan with the IS38! The EA888.3 is a great engine and if you flashed the DQ500 software too it would wake up the car a lot! I find the drive by wire and gearbox to be a bit sleepy sometimes. The DQ381 in the MK7.5 R is much more lively, but obviously doesn't handle as much torque as the DQ500 Tiguan box would.

              Would wiper fluid being odourless be undesirable?

                @jecec: OK, maybe not obsessed, but asking the same question twice within seconds of each other and only a couple of posts apart is a bit weird.

                Smell is a huge part of why people buy things. You can even buy "new car smell" air fresheners. Smell has a massive effect on emotional response.

        Yes, it stripped the top and back of the car while using it in rain on a motorway. Okay if your car is stationary as it just gets wiped and drained. I have only been using it when the car is at a stop.

      • Igaf on 17/10/2024 - 13:40

        Treat your windscreen (eg RainX or whatever you prefer) then just use H20 (or distilled water if you live in a hard water area).

  • NoMoneyNoCry on 25/09/2024 - 20:59

    I was told to add a bit of windex to the windscreen washer fluid. And it works with not water marks.

    Does this product work better?

    • doubleclutching on 25/09/2024 - 22:50

      Not sure who told you that but they are wrong. Windex is harsh and if any over spray gets on your paint it could damage it.

    This is about 40c cheaper than the average price listed on camelcc.

    Are a handful of the thumbs up on this deal moreso related to the fact that the users like the product as opposed to the pricing?

      No, this one is methanol based, you'll need an ethanol based fluid. Hard to come by because all the deros were drinking it. We couldn't just let Darwinism let it run it's course apparently.
