Hi all, I seem to have a leak in the screen washer bottle area. I have looked of Youtube but cant find out how to get to the bottle or pipes! Has anyone had to do this and is it easy or does half the front end have to be removed LOL.
On a Mk4 the Washer bottle is on the passenger side behind the wheel arch cover. Remove the wheel and cover to get at it. May be other side on a Mk5 but same applies.
Yeah, wheel arch liner should give you some access to it. Not sure if the front bumper might also need to come off to fix your problem. It's fiddly, but not a difficult job to do that though. On the side of the wheel washer there are wiring looms connected to the bumper, so don't damage them if you need to remove it completely. You should be able to move it far enough back off the car to give you access without unplugging he loom.
I also had this and got to the bottom of my washer bottle by just removing the forward inner wing/cover on the drivers side.
Mine was leaking from around the rubber that holds the washer pump in. I removed it and added some sealant which appears to have done the trick.
Good Luck
