Title: washer bottle
Post by: mahony on 22 October 2007, 19:40:20
A couple of days ago i did a coolant change and found a rubber grommit in the engine undersheild   which i could not place as to where it was originally fitted so i left it off,now the washer bottle has started to drip,i cant see how there related as such but the washer bottle was not dripping before,maybe the gromit is from the washer motor? any thoughts? before i have a look.

Could have come from headlight washer pump (if applicable), windscreen washer pump (will have a gauze in it), or level sensor.  If not any of these, it probably didn't come from washer bottle...

went and checked the washer bottle yesterday and found the leak comming from the right hand washer pump,does anyone know the part number for the seal? and can it be replaced without removing the bumper.

From memory, that will be windscreen washer pump.  The grommet/gauze is available on its own.  It can be done with bumper in place, but tad fiddly...
