so.... I have access to a BMW x3 F25 (2017), on the BMW x3 forums, there's a BMW owner who ran into issues with his windshield pump/tank, he poured PURPLE windshield washer fluid, and now has purple ink/junk inside and the BMW dealership wants to replace the entire windshield container, pump, lines, everything due to using PURPLE windshield washer fluid.....


My question is, what color windshield washer do you guys use?

I am using PURPLE at the moment, I use BLUE windshield washer fluid during the winter time.

RainX Green and Orange are what I use
I made my own solution (diluting some bug cleaner with distilled water) and that worked just fine (it was green)
No idea what happened to that X3 LOL!

LOL damn BMW's... I don't understand how PURPLE windshield washer fluid can cause internal damage.... I thought I was using BLUE but I noticed that's only the winter based windshield washer fluid....
I poured PURPLE windshield (all-season based formula) into my GTI... no issues... I'm going to stop using PURPLE windshield washer fluid permanently....

My X3 will not receive PURPLE windshield washer fluid. No-No. Big NO-NO.
(it's my dad's).

My GTI..... it's a daily-summer-beater at this point in time.
I'm hoping to buy a 4RUNNER or TUNDRA/TACOMA sooner than later... afterwards my GTI will be a TRACKCAR WOOOO!!!! (I'm a big kid now).

I will continue to pour PURPLE windshield washer in my GTI until I use up all the jugs in my locker room.
I will update you all the outcome lol... I won't go to a BMW dealership :ROFLMAO: (B)ring (M)y (W)allet.
