Washer Bottle on my 172

[AllyL]

Hey folks!!

Quick question - the washer bottle on my 172 appears to be leaking. Will a washer bottle from any Clio be suffice or should I look into buying a brand new one specific for that model? Car is 51 plate..

Cheers!!

Needs to be from a Clio with factory fitted xenon lights (2nd pump for headlight washers).

I fixed mine, which was split on the bottom corner, silicon sealant & plastic-weld Loctite adhesive. 6months later it's still fine so may be worth trying if you want to give it a go.
FYI, getting the wipers off is usually a b*tch.

Thanks for the replies..much appreciated!! ) I'll have a look n see if it's split..is it easy enough to access (after the wipers!?)

Did this to mine yesterday and the wipers and wiper mech needs to be removed.

Its around £48 from Renault for a brand new one but Jay Payne off here has one from a car that is being broken, I was going to have it from him but have found one locally instead.

Yes we do have one.

There is a technical guide on the forum form years ago that details it well, not difficult to do.
