Smithy Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Hi all, I made the mistake of using my washers while a little icey, and think I've dislodged some tubing above the passenger side front wheel. Wondered if anyone else has taken apart that side of the car to (I assume) snap the washer connectors back together? It seems like it's under the battery, or hopefully a little more forward than that, just after a clue where to aim for! Thanks, Tom Quote
glrnet Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 The actual windscreen washer bottle reservoirs are behind the front bumber, one each side as I remember, the hoses connect here to the pumps in the reservoirs, the offside one can be accessed by removing the wheel arch liners, can't remember if the bumper has to come off though to fully access it. :pmr35lee: for the definitive answers.

Smithy Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 so anyway, the tubing had come apart right below the passenger side wiper as suspected. Removed lots of plastic around that area, also stopping the electrics with the wiper pointing up to get a little more access without needing to take the wiper off. Got access to the tubing, but was a complete pig to stick back together, not what I expected! Needed a 2nd pair of hands to help while using pliars to ease the tubing together. Job done though, thanks to ZMANALEX for the heads up where to look. Quote
