ajv a5

Ok Audi buffs! You are not going to believe this one. My car is a 2016 A5. My wife handed me a plastic jug from the garage with pink fluid in it saying it was leftover windshield wiper fluid that my daughter had just bought. I started pouring it in and the consistency was too thick and the smell not right. I used less than a quart, easily, until it dawned upon me. I was using RV antifreeze that I had used to winterize my hot tub lines!! So I have not activated the wiper jets since and I tried to take a wet vac and suck back out the fluid. Nothing came back up. Putting my hand inside it seems to drop down quite an incline. My next steps I believe will be to see if I can get access to the reservoir to then determine if I can drain it or take a hose and overfill the reservoir to further dilute the fluid and then "spray" about half the fluid out, (and then repeat to further dilute), and hose down the windshield and vehicle immediately. Any suggestions? I cannot imagine anyone else has ever done this!!
