Washer fluid tank removal

[prodigymad]

Hi all,

I recently reached the last dregs of the washer fluid the other day so I topped it all up and now the jets keep blocking up!

I got a friendly garage to blast some air through the jets and cleared a load of crap from them and it seemed to work ok for a bit.

But now its blocked again so I was wondering if anyone knows how easy / hard it is to remove the entire washer fluid tank so I can clear all the crud out?

Cheers!

Easy peasy, but!

You ned to remove the o/s wheel arch liner to get at it and then there are 2 or 3 bolts(i cant remember exactly how many) and it shoudl just drop down after that.
You could try pulling the pump out and just flushing the tank out with a hose if you cant get the tank out.

I would just remove both pumps and flush though with a hose.

If that doesn't do it, then remove the tank, it is just 3 bolts and 1 nut shown in the diagram.(10mm if i remember corectly)


The top section is a case of removing the top bolt then pulling the top section up.

Then the bottom section is is just the two bottom bolts & nut then pull down.

removing the front right wheel may let u get the bottle off a bit easier
