C70 2010 washer bottle leak
Hi All.
fairly new to Volvo ownership and have a 2010 C70 - (is the engine bay layout the same as another model?) I went to fill my screen washer bottle and the fluid just ran out of the bottom of engine bay by the o/s front wheel. Can someone tell me how to access the bottle please. I think I have gleaned that it is behind the o/n inner wing panel which means taking the front o/s wheel off, which is fine. Is this a known issue? Thanks Steve |

Hi Steve
Just for your info. I have a MY 2006 C70. On filling the screen washer bottle, I filled it to the brim of the filler tube as I have with all my other makes of car and surprisingly watched the screen wash drip all over the floor. Seems there is an over flow pipe to prevent over filling or so it seemed to me. Once the level had dropped enough it stopped dripping over the floor, no issues since. Just telling you this in case you engage in a repair you didn't need to. Hope this was helpful, Fred |

Thanks Fred.
After looking ofr any videos etc but not fidin any for the washer bottle mounted near the firewall I took off the os front wheel and inner arch the bottle was fine and filled with water no leaks but then i noticed that under the front os headlight there is plastic tray with sections that act like a reservoir which was full of water presumably from the headlight washer. I emptied it with a sponge and reassembled everything. No leaks but it doesnt explain why when I was pouring washer fluid into the bottle is was on the floor unless I was pouring it directly into the overflow - I was using one of those predicted washer fluid refill in a bag with a nozzle which I had upended into the filler neck The headlight may have not been reseated properly after had changed the light bulb a coupe of weeks ago whicb required removal of the headlamp unit. so #usererror #there_is_1_hour_of_my_life_I_wont_get_back |
