Volkswagen 1969 Model - Manual (Page 20)

1- Container for windshield
washer
As soon as the cap of the container is loosened, the
air supply from the spare tire to the windshield
washer container is interrupted by means of a valve
in the filler cap. The washer container can be filled
completely with washer fluid. It is advisable to add
a cleaning solution to the water such as
Volkswagen's Windshield Washer Anti-Freeze and
Solvent as clear water alone is usually not adequate
to ensure that the windshield is cleaned quickly and
properly. If enough of this cleaning agent is put in,
it also acts as a mild anti-freeze solution in the
winter. Anti-freeze fluids are also commonly
available Follow the direction on the container for
the amount to be used.
After filling container ensure that the filler cap is
always screwed on tightly
2 - Spare wheel
It also serves as an air supply for the windshield
washer container, therefore, the spare tire
pressure should occasionally be checked and
inflated to 43 p.s.i. The air flow from the spare tire
to the washer container will automatically be
interrupted by a valve in the filler cap if the tire
pressure ever falls below 26 p.s.i. (Squareback
Sedan 36 p.s.i ). As a result, the spare tire will
always have the required pressure should it be
needed. Whenever you use the spare tire, make
sure that the tire pressure is according to
specifications shown on page 49.
3 - Jack
Operation of the jack is described together with
wheel changing on page 29.

5 - Brake fluid reservoir
The brake fluid level should always be above the
protruding edge near the top of the container. If the
brake fluid level ever falls below this edge, the
complete brake system should be thoroughly
examined by your Authorized VW Dealer.

therefore, be renewed every 2 years.

should be performed by an Authorized VW Dealer.
