Losing washer fluid?
« on: January 19, 2014, 02:00:37 pm »
Hi guys seem to be losing washer fluid very quickly, is there a common place that it leaks from, or is it a case of taking out the bottle and replacing. if so anyone got a walkthrough for this?
Thanks in advance  :happy2:

front bumper will need to come off

I suspect that it may be one of the hoses has a leak

Mine leaks if it's over a certain level, I suspect a crack in the reservoir, here's a DIY of taking the bumper off:

I wouldn't of thought it'd be a cracked bottle, probs the big O ring rubber seal that the pump is pressed into on the bottle. Might be a weak seal or the pump has some how wormed it way out of the seal slightly causing the leak.

Just because you think you know something, doesn't make you an expert if you've just read it on the internet, y'know.
