Installation recommendations
Generally/typically, the following procedure applies to replacing the washer reservoir. The exact steps may vary depending on the specific design of the car and access to the container.
1) Before assembly
- Compare the new part with the old part: the shape of the container, the location and diameters of the holes for the motors/sensors (if any), the tube routing and the attachment points.
- Check the condition of the neck, thread/fit of the cap and the bearing surfaces for the motor seals.
- Check whether the motor and cap are included in the delivery – according to the documents they may not be. Prepare the original motors/cap if they are ok.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- Basic set of keys and sockets, screwdrivers
- Pliers for tube clips (according to type), or a plastic pry bar for removing covers
- Container for catching liquid, rags/towels
- Cleaning agent for degreasing and leak checking (e.g. water for rinsing)
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Secure the car against movement and allow surrounding parts to cool if the car has been in operation.
- Disconnect the electrical connectors of the washer motors (and any level sensor, if fitted).
- Drain the liquid from the container into a prepared container (or disconnect the tubing and collect the liquid safely).
- Mark the tubes (e.g. front/rear circuit) to avoid confusion during reassembly.
- Disconnect the washer hoses and release the line clips/holds.
- Dismantle the canister fastening (screws/handles according to design) and remove the canister.
- Move the usable components from the old one (typically motors, seals, lid) to the new container, if they are not included in the delivery.
- Check and clean the sealing points; when folding, pay attention to the correct seating to avoid leakage.
- Install the container back into the car and tighten the fixings sufficiently so that the plastic does not crack.
- Connect the tubes in the correct direction, secure them with clips and store them in their original holders.
- Connect the electrical connectors.
- Top up the washer fluid and check that the container is secure and that nothing is leaking.
-
4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
- Verify the sprinkler function and check the operation of the motors by listening.
- Check for leaks at the motors, hose connections and at the lid neck (especially after the first few minutes of operation).
- After a short drive or after several uses of the washer, check again for moisture around the canister.
5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them
- Motor leak: poorly seated or damaged gasket – always check the seating surface and correct seating.
- Swapping tubes: mark them before disassembly.
- Plastic cracking: do not overstretch the fixing points, the plastic container is sensitive to overstretching.
- Forgotten connector: after assembly, check that all connectors are properly engaged.
Reasons why the part is damaged
- Aging of plastic and microcracks due to temperature changes and vibrations.
- Mechanical damage (impact, abrasion, damage during previous repair or manipulation).
- Leakage at motors/sealing – hardened or damaged sealing elements can lead to fluid leakage.
- Damaged neck or cap – poor fitting, torn seating or cracks will cause leakage or contamination of liquid.
- Inappropriate fluid or long-term neglect of maintenance that can contribute to deposits and subsequent problems in the system.
