Default Screenwash

Hi All,
My dad's recently taken delivery of an ex-fleet V40 D3 SE Lux Nav with bells on (pauses for breath). Absolutely cracking car (very jealous as he now has more toys than me) but one thing he has mentioned is that he keeps getting a message to refill the screenwash - the reservoir has a 5-litre capacity, but the warning appears when only 1 litre has been used from full.

Anyone else come across this?

Don't have a V40, but seen similar issue with my S60. Only happened once, though. The rest of the time it has thrown the message up when I get down to the last litre or two.

If it's doing it every time, the sensor is perhaps wrong, so worth a trip to the dealer - should be an easy one for them to investigate!

It's still under warranty so we'll get it looked at under that.
