Removal of T6 Screen washer bottle

[Pollyboater]

Hi folks,

Anyone have experience with removing the screen washer bottle? 2 screws are straightforward, but that third one seems to be a pig! Any steer would be really gratefully received.

Also, is it worth buying new seal kit? I presume its for the header pipe plumbing into the bottle itself.

Thank you in advanced.

A quick Google shows this, note that the ad’ is just for the seal at £16!!!!!
I would say this is excessive and buyers may well be pushing the Buy It Now thinking they are buying the bottle.
It shows the assembly.
IMO no need for a new seal, just use a very light smear of silicone grease assuming the seal is in good condition.

Hi DXX, thank you for your reply.

Had the bumper off, and seems there is a crack in the body of the reservoir from when I had hit a Deer. Honestly not realised the reservoir was a two-piece effigy, will double check the leak is not migrating from the seal.

Looked on Google for a video clip to see how it is removed and couldn't find a thing, which surprised me as most things are available.

I think it’s possible to remove by removing the wheel arch liner. Not done it myself.
