Reservoir

Reservoir
The reservoir is located behind the front bumper in the inner wheel arch and has a capacity of 6.0 liters (12.5 US pints). A filler neck tube is connected to the reservoir with a seal and extends into the engine compartment on the front left hand side. The filler neck tube contains a removable filter to prevent particle contamination and a yellow float to show reservoir contents. The washer filler neck tube is sealed with a cap which is coloured blue for identification.

Two electric washer pumps are located on the rear face of the reservoir and supply washer fluid to the front windscreen and the tail door window. Each pump is sealed to the reservoir with a rubber sealing grommet.

On vehicles with headlamp powerwash fitted, a third pump is fitted with a sealing grommet to the front face of the reservoir.

The reservoir and filler neck tube are manufactured from moulded opaque nylon. The reservoir has moulded lugs for attachment to the vehicle body. A bracket is attached to the top of the filler neck tube and locates in a hole in the body to secure the top of the tube.
