Gaining access to window washer fluid bottle & pipework
« on: September 02, 2010, 09:13:13 pm »
Ive got a major leak in my window washer system somewhere as soon as water is in, its back out again. Has anyone had this problem?
How do i get in to the washer bottle can i get in through removing the wheel arch liner or is it a bumber off job, or possible entry from underneath or just grill removal, Cheers  :happy2:

^^^^

- Car up high on ramp.

- Remove frontal under-tray.

- Should be able to access it from below.

N.B. - I've never done it but it looks like this approach would work.

^^^^ don't think I'd have the room to change out parts by doing that, but it's worth a try first
cheers !
