Washer Bottle
 
My washers still work but My Washer Bottle is leaking. I fill it up and it is empty in about 48hrs.
I take it you have to examine/remove from below in the wheel arch? or just from underneath?
Anyone got any Washer bottle know how they can pass on?
or a P1 Washer bottle.
Thanks

You'll need to remove the bumper to get access to the bottle's bolts.

Yes, the bottle is supported by 3 12mm and 2 10mm bolts. The Haynes manual is next to useless as regards access. You need to remove the wheel arch liner. Then you can see it, but you can't get to the bolts. The bumper is remarkably easy to remove - just four bolts underneath, plus the various connectors etc. I found it was enough to just pull the offside out. I used a wobble bar + sockets.

I had this exact issue and turns out it was just a split hose, it had chafed against the side of the bottle and was holed, I was able to access the motor and pipe work by removing the fog light blanking plate in the bumper and by dropping one side of the under tray, clipped an inch or so off the end of the split hose and job done.
