I have an X3 car. I put the wrong fluid in the screen wash.... I want to find the reservoir or bottle and simply empty it. I can see the top where I pour in where is the bottom? The bottle itself it must be emptiable?
Unfortunately the washer reservoirs are not equipped with drains, you have to suck the fluid out or run the washer until it is drained. IF what you put in is not washer fluid or water then DONT run it through the pump. Since you didn\'t say what you put in, I\'m left to assume it really shouldn\'t be in there. Get yourself an antifreeze tester and a suitable length of hose to reach the bottom of the reservoir (or sacrifice a turkey baster) and suck out the fluid. Now for the hard part - you\'ll have to wash out the remains. If the bad stuff is water soluble (antifreeze is), pour some warm soapy water in and run it through the pump. If the stuff is not water soluble (like power steering fluid) then you\'ll be best to replace the plastic bottle. If the stuff hasn\'t gone through the pump, it can be transferred to the replacement bottle.
SOURCE: Power Steering Fluid Leak, boiling fluid.
Look at the steering rack on the side of the car that you think the leak is, look for the steering rack boot or gaiter, it looks like a black circular accordian type thing.
If this is bulging and leaking fluid the seal in the end of the rack is gone, this is one of the most common faults of leaking fluid and at the rate you are losing fluid, the leak is on the pressurised side of the system after the pump (the seal at the end of the rack)
SOURCE: i cannot locate screenwash bottle on clio dci 2003
bottle is at the back of the engine bay to the right as you look at it.
SOURCE: Windshield washer not working properly
If you have used ANYTHING beside windshield solvent in you reservor, you may have created WAXING from soap in the bottom of washer tank, which clogs pump,lines, and nozzel....take the tank out and wash it..disconnect washer hoses at nozzel and clear with compressed air along with the nozzel...if you use solvent only you may have a worn washer pump or restriction...check those and good luck.....
SOURCE: Unsure if empty reservoir is for clutch.
If it is a bright green, it is probably antifreeze, the reservoir for that is usually around 1/2 to 1 gallon. If it is about a cup to pint size, it may be clutch fluid. It should smell about the same as brake fluid. Usually clear or brownish clear in color.
Testimonial: "Thanks, that should give me the answer, definitely not a brown colour, quite probably the coolant and thus all should be ok as this is full, both radi"
SOURCE: Is there a power steering reservoir in my 2001
It does have a reservoir its located on the drivers side of the engine compartment,it has black lid.
