Washer Fluid

Player · 12-04-2011, 07:48 PM

Filled up my reservoir washer tank. Is is not working now. Shoots a small among of fluid out and then stops. You can hear the pump running. Any ideas?

Air bubble?

Frozen?

It's not frozen

Assuming the low level warning went away (so you poured the fluid into the correct opening

), this sounds like some clogged line which would require a trip to the dealership.

<considers other openings that you could pour washer fluid into under the bonnet> *shudder* Hope it went into the right place....

It's in the right place. I followed the lines back, but did not see anything. Looks like hoses need to come off and clear any obstructions.

I talked to service department today. It's potentially a clogged filter that can only be cleared at shop. The fender well has to be removed...
