Screen Wash Reservoir

[tallpauljones]

I am the happy owner of an 03 Cayeene S. All is well apart from the fact that it has been drinking screen wash, I am an ex Range Rover driver and that used a LOT of screen wash so I have thought nothing of it.

In the UK the season that is claimed to be summer has arrived, shockingly we have had several dry days and i have noticed a wet patch that is made up of screen wash on my drive! The fluid seems to be leaking from the front left of the vehicle but i am at a loss as to where the actual reservoir actually is!

can anyone point me in the right direction, I have worked out that its under the bonnet somewhere!

Many thanks

The fill point is located under the front hood on the right side under a trim panel. The leak might be caused from the left head light washer assembly.... seems to be a common source.

hi

the reservoir is located in the offside wheel well, behind the arch liner

I am an owner of a Cayenne S 2003, RHD. I assume that the resevoir would be on the driver side by the front wheel.

I too have a leak problem whereby I am losing water from the Washer, as after filling the substantial reservoir, the

warning message informed me it was low within a couple of weeks. After refilling noticed a puddle and a leak just in

front of the driver side front wheel.

I thought that it was a leak within the resevoir, but now after reading below link, I assume it could be the driver

side head light washer assembly.

Is this a case of a bit of dirt, or will I require a new assembly ???

Thanks

Before you remove the bumper take a look behind the right headlight (remove the headlight), in some cases the filler neck is not proper fit in to the water tank, at the same time you can check the right headlight washer for leaks through the open room between the light carrier and the bumper.
