My car tends to use washer fluid and oil with use but it had done 4k+ miles in the first two months. Rather than take it to the OPC Bazza I top them up myself which always requires opening the bonnet :). FYI, washer, blue, top right in your pic, oil, black, just forward and right of the middle. In case you get the urge! :lol:

Opened my bonnet to see what it looked like, saw a sea of plastic, took a photo for posterity and hoping to never open again.

you need to get the top of that air box cut out and a high flow filter put in, what a difference it will make.

Well 4.0V8 GTS is a badge none of us poor Macan owners are likely to see when we open the bonnet :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Obviously it never rains and the roads never get dirty in Cayenne GTS world so you never need to use screen wash fluid or is there a secret way of filling the reservoir without opening the bonnet?
