I have a large leak coming from the pipework in front of the washer bottle, I have removed the inner arch liner and checked all the pipework exiting the pumps and after filling and using the washer function, it seems to be coming from in front of the tank.
I have tried to see how to remove it but after reading an old post, the last entry said they got a dealer to do it as it requires the front bumper to be removed to gain access.
Does anyone have experience of removing the tank themselves? Not a good time of year for stripping the front of the car off just to replace a piece of pipe!
