under bonnet checks?

[maynard]

hey everyone, can anyone list any under bonnet checks (windscreen water level etc) i should be doing on my 172 on a weekly basis. if you can explain where each thing is on the pic below it would be appreciated.

oil-coolant-screenwash-brake fluid-PAS fluid (at least until you're sure it's not leaking anyway)-tyre pressures

i can't do those pointy-arrow photoshop things but have you got a Haynes manual or the owner's manual? (as they show you what's what under the bonnet)

Dipstick is orange and under the big silver plate at the very front of the engine. Has to be between the two cutouts on the stick.

Starting from right to left on the bulkhead is...

On the scuttle panel is screenwash
The yellowish bottle with the black lid is Pas Fluid
The Big one next to it is Coolant


The brake fluid requires you taking the engine cover off to see it but its below that peice of yellow sponge you can see in the pictures.

Also its worth checking your bonnett catch for rust and corrosion.

Hope this helps.
