Welcome to the forum Ronald55,

It won't harm the screenwash system but it could damage the vehicle paintwork. Flush it out with clean water and then refill with screenwash fluid.

Please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST forum and post some information about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice about posting to the forum.

Siphon it out, then rinse the tank with water and clear the lines to the sprayers. If coolant has been sprayed on the windscreen and the wipers used, the windscreen should be thoroughly cleaned and the wiper blades replaced. Clean any coolant from painted surfaces as well.

Ronald55,

I have DELETED one of your posts with the same question and MERGED two others.

Do NOT multiple post the same question.
