I just was checking under the hood for a rattle. While I was there, I decided to fill big plastic tank with washer fluid because the pressure is so low. Filled it full.

As I was closing hood, noticed a pipe near windshield with wiper symbol and had an Oh S*** moment. I presume I put it in the wrong opening.

What should I do now? I did NOT start car.

 

Since this is not your first post of a similar nature (wrong fluid in the wrong place), have you obtained, and do you use, your Owner's Manual before performing service? It would seem that you do not.

As for what to do - you already know. Have the car towed to the dealer, and have both the coolant tank and the radiator/ engine coolant flushed. Or perform the service yourself. There are threads on this forum for a coolant flush/ drain.

 

It's so sweet of you to remember me, even if inaccurately. Indeed, I almost put steering fluid into the brake fluid, but I didn't.

No, I don't usually check the manual before adding wiper fluid. It always has seemed self-evident in my Saabs and Passats and I never had a problem before.

Also, in my other cars, antifreeze was always green. This was blue. Seemed like the right thing, but wasn't. Trial and error is a bitch.

I do wish these were labeled to prevent errors like mine.

While I thank you for your kindness, insight and suggestions, I did solve it without your nice words of support.
