#3: Re: Washer Bottle Author: j4m1e, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 4:31 am ---- cool will it be easier to just just jack the car up remove the wheel and then take out the under arches *just for more view * ?

check the O ring on the neck filler hasn't split.

#10: Re: Washer Bottle Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 8:20 am ---- easiest way to tell if it's the O ring is to fill the tank to the brim - if water instantly runs away and the tank stays full below the joint (about 9" down the filler) then there's your problem.
takes a couple of minutes and no tools required.
