2005 V50 Windshield Fluid reservoir removal
Hi, my windshield fluid reservoir is not holding liquid, believed either its cracked or the hose is cracked. Can someone please show me how to replace or repair the damn thing? thank you!
Take off the splash shield, and IIRC, the fender liner to gain access to the reservoir. There's a good chance that the problem is actually the pump(s) or the gaskets that the pumps sit in. If you're losing the fluid quickly, it should be pretty obvious where it's leaking.
I'm thinking that the OP's problem is "lower" since it appears that it's leaking out by itself (without any application of the washer), though that's an assumption based on the first post.
that's a good question for the OP - does his fluild drain out when filling the reservoir or does it drain after using the washer. For me, it was only when using the washer. If the reservoir empties on its own with the car off, then you can assume its a reservoir issue.
