Technical Screen Wash Leak from bottle

[ad25121048]

Hi

I've just noticed that my screen wash is leaking! When I try to top it up water leaks down on to the fog light and out on to the lower front bumper.

It holds water when the bottle has leaked about half. I've had a look at trying to get the to the entire screen wash container out but it's in a tight area at the side of the battery and behind the headlight.

I've also looked at removing the front fog light but after taking the black plastic cover off I can't access the screws (or nuts) that hold it in.

My car has Xenon headlights that have their own washer system (this is the same system as the screen wash), does this make the job any harder?

If it's not an easy job I'll just live with it as it holds about half capacity without leaking.

Thanks

Ps. I've tried the front, back and headlight washers and all work and spray water.

Check the pipe has not come loose at the union about 30cm from the bottle . This connection is a bit strange and its easy to push it in too far and cause a leak . May just save you a job.

If your car has HIDs then it should have a 6L bottle rather than 3 according to the handbook, but I'm sure mine with factory fitted HIDs only has a 3 fitted, yet to fit 6L from empty into it.Might hopfully just be a loose fit around one of the pumps which you can push back into place when you manage to gain access.

Yes only one pump.

Might be worth checking the none return valve hasn't become blocked. Not sure where it is on the Bravo, but if like the Stilo its the 'Y' splitter under the bonnet insulation
