Mixed windshield washer fluid with red radiator anti-freeze will this harm?

1. Coolant (anti-freeze water mix)

2. Oil

3. fresh water which has condensed on your air conditioner--this is harmless--seen mostly on hot humid days.

4. not exactly from the engine but from places near it:

transmission fluid

brake fluid

windshield washer fluid

These each have its own distinctive feel and smell, but it is too difficult to describe these in words.

Your vehicle takes dex-cool antifreeze.You can get the 50/50 mix type or just get the full strength and mix it with half water.You should be able to get it at Wal-Mart or any parts store.They also have some anti-freeze that can be mixed with any type of anti-freeze.Hope this help you.Good luck.

toyota got its own red color anti freeze but the 50/50 mix works perfect,

VW have their own spec anti freeze/coolant, but any good quality upper market anti freeze can be used and some will even say that they are recommended by VW. Follow the directions on the container for mix and dilution.

Rain X should have alleviated the freezing problem assuming that you circulated enough of it through the tubing and through the nozzles before it froze again.

Maybe try to disassemble the nozzle and soak in the Rain X solution or warm water to unfreeze it.

Trace the piping or tubing to the place where the frozen water exists and eliminate the ice by warming it up.

You may take the whole vehicle to a heated garage and let it thaw out, then circulate the fluid by pushing the button or switch to operate the windshield wiper fluid pump.

Is the water tank the windshield washer fluid or the radiator overflow tank??

If it is the washer fluid tank, fill it with "below 32F" type fluid. If it is the radiator over flow tank, it would appear to me that the radiator fluid is too watered down or weak and is not freeze resistant. The radiator fluid should be 50/50 mix of Prestone or other make of radiator fluid and water. This is to save your engine and radiator from bursting. Ice takes up move volume that water (this is why Ice floats on water). Inside of a pipe, radiator or engine block, this can be devisating. You could crack your radiator or engine block. Hopefully who ever serviced your car last used the correct fluid. You might want to get this checked before more damage happens to your car.

Hope this helps.

do you have a owner manual.there should be a diagram there.does it look like a radiator.you need to add anti-freez. or could be windshield washer fluid level is low.

Anti freeze check for leaks from your hoses and radiator.

windscreen washer fluid will not hurt,it contains methylated spirits thats all ,which used to be used as antifreeze years ago.just top up with neat eythelene glycol antifreeze .as for a drain plug ,well they dont have them on cars anymore

If there is a small black hose going from that to the radiator, that's for the anti-freeze coolant. That is a special anti-freeze called prestone dex-cool. It's not green like the regular stuff. Now, if the hose is running up toward the windshield, that's windshield washer fluid. Prestone de-ice, that's also colored, and not blue. Just got to make sure which is which.
