Windscreen Wash Fluid Problem

[Silver Arrow]

I've developed a problem recently where all the fluid in the windscreen wash fluid tank appears to be leaking, to the point of being empty. This has been recently confirmed when I filled the tank up to the top, only for it to be empty next morning.

I haven't seen any evidence of it leaking, but given the time of year I guessing that isn't too much of a surprise.

I've had a quote from my local Renault garage for 1hrs labour to check the tank (£100) but wondered if anyone else had checked their own or could offer any advice on how to access, to see if it might be the cause of dislodged tube or cracked tank.

Many thanks

Headlamp washer jets? Look for trail down front bumper, very common.

The tanks have been known to crack before now.

The cheap tack plastic cap for the screen washer bottle is naff. My near side headlight washer jet leaks when you fill it up to max. They are naff too. It's a shame Renault cut corners on these recylced filmsy materials.

i have a 172 washer fluid tank if you need it.
