-5C is not cold at all. It's -5F here today (-20C) and about this time last year was -27F (-33C). The commercial fluid with antifreeze has been fine. I'd expect regular washer fluid to be fine down to -2C or -3C, as it's not pure water and the detergents should lower the freeze point. Are you absolutely sure you bottles you've been buying contain ...

I live up in the north, and we see temps much colder than -2C. I've found that the washer fluid the dealers use is subpar for nearly everything below freezing. It might spray sometimes, but it will ice up on the window, especially when it's far below 0C. I suspect they water it down or something. I've been looking around for a solution and have settled on ...

Short answer: you almost certainly bought a bad bottle of fluid with a low methanol content. Worse, it might have been fluid with some sort of glycol rather than methanol (possibly causing it to gell up on the windshield or at the nozzles). -5C isn't terribly cold (unless you're in an open high wind environment). There are people that like to jabber about ...

Everything I've been able to find says the tank has to come out to get at the pump. I'm not sure how to solve the issue with the battery mount. It's probably worth checking to see if you can get at it from the wheel well with the wheel off (might have to to remove the fender liner). Assuming you can get at the pump, you can verify that it's getting ...
