Empty Screen Washer Tank Warning

[Edward Xuereb]

Does anyone know if the MG4 SE Standard Range displays a warning when the screen washer tank is empty?

Ours doesn't, sadly

It seems that mine does not have it, which is surprising because the previous older cars that I owned all had it.

The warning you get is that no water comes out when you try to wash the windscreen....

Nothing like point out the obvious to solve a problem

I’m not even sure the Trophy Long Range has it? ( I really need to check the manual )

Just before we went away for a trip I filled the window washer up. Now it was a brand new 5 litre tub & I used most of it & id of thought I’d of got some warning of low level?

Unless the screen wash container in car is bigger than what I thought & there was still plenty in there?

Nevertheless, this is a minor issue and overall I am still satisfied with the MG4

Same for Trophy.

Just type ; and ) sequentially and the forum does it for you. Like this

And the buzzer (the motor trying to pump air).

A washer bottle sensor would be a useful addition, especially as the bottle is hidden from view. IMHO

Strange, the washer fluid reservoir is only 2.5 litres

My Golf had a warning, but it was an optional extra. I coughed up for what was termed the "winter pack" and got heated seats, a 5-litre screenwash reservior (which froze solid in November not to thaw until May unless you put the VW -70 wash fluid in it) and the warning indicator. It wasn't a standard feature.

There's certainly nothing on the SE. I try to remember to fill up regularly.

For what it’s worth, none of the ZS EV models have the low fluid level warning either.
As @Rolfe has stated, a number of the VAG models don’t have this facility, unless you choose to pay for the option on the build sheet.
As MG don’t have an options list, that will be a NO then .

Or a dipstick even, my old 2010 Prius had one.

I have a Trophy and have been wondering about this - and then I got no warning this week when it ran out. It’s annoying because I hate having no windscreen fluid!

I use the original tried and trusted method I've developed over many years of driving. Once a week I open the bonnet and top up the reservoir with washer fluid
