#1 of 4 BMW X3-WindshieldWasher Fluid Vapours by jamesyak Jul 15, 2007 (7:29 am)
Each time I spray washer fluid on the windshield, the climate control system draws in the vapours/odours from the washer fluid. Is this something that others have experienced. That stuff is poisonn according to the bottle! Also see this site - he has the problem too...http://www.dvatp.com/bmw/maintenance/e36/2005/ James Replies to this message: roadburner (Jul 23, 2007 8:09 pm)

#3 of 4 windshield wiper fluid by sisaminah Feb 05, 2009 (2:51 pm)
my windshield wiper fluid is kind of thick and milky looking, and sticky on the glass and wiper blades. Could a hard freeze have caused this? Replies to this message: tidester (Feb 05, 2009 4:14 pm)

Replying to: sisaminah (Feb 05, 2009 2:51 pm) Was it thick and milky when you poured it in from the bottle? Some antifreeze intended for extreme cold is gelatinized to reduce evaporation rates and freezing of the fluid on the windshield. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
