Smile 1.8 2002 4 Dr Saloon Wiper Bottle

Hi;

I recently had my brakes renewed and since then my windscreen washer spray no longer works. I have sussed out that the bottle appears to be either disconnected or broken because when I fill the bottle it leaks out under the wing near the passenger side door.

Can anyone point me to any directions on accessing and repairing the water bottle, it seems a bi**h to get at.

Think you need to take off the wheel and the inner plastic arch liner to get access to it mate. Sometimes the rubber pipe just pops off, so it could well be that.

Yeh, as Rich said, wheel off then 6 or 7 screws to remove the wheel arch liner and you can see everything clearly then.
