This is a dumb question but I have a r53 what is the reservoir on the driver side wheel well for?

 

I think that side is for the headlight sprayers. Passenger side is the windshield.

or the rear window sprayer...many have removed the wiper/sprayer.

 

It is for the rear it is just oozing out though and Ideas how to unclog it?

 

The bottle on the driver side is for the headlights (xenon). If your rear washer is oozing you need a new nozzle if you can find it separately. Otherwise you need a rear wiper motor assembly

 

Do the headlights squirt at the same time as the windshield?

 

Headlights (if equiped with washers) only activate every 3rd time or so when the lights are on and the front window is washed.....

 

Rear window...try a neededle or pin to clean the sprayer....then use it semi-regularly to keep it clean.
It can be a permant clog if left too long...and allowed to corode.
Tyere is a wealth of info in the users manual....also online in a pdf.

 

The 1st time you put your headlights on and then use the washer for your windshield the headlight sprayer activates and sprays. Then every 3rd time or so.

 

if you remove the rear hatch cover and the hose into the wiper motor you can test the operation of it, if it is coming out of the hose all nasty you can try to clear the lines. if it comes out of the hose clean you can remove the nozzle end and push the brass like straw out of the back of the motor to soak in a cleaning solution or use compressed air

 

Alright thank you I have another question I discovered that If you hold down the unlock button on your key you can roll down the windows and open the sunroof is there a way to roll them back up with the key as well?

 

yes, i know that if you put the key in the driver door and twist to lock and hold it it will roll up the windows and close the sunroof. i dont think you can use the remote to close it up for safety reasons

 

Oh I was just curious

 

Here is a diagram of the rear window parts:




You can see the motor is part of the fixture and the little spray tube nozzle that extends.

Like they said above you can try to clean that part out. #1 in diagram

Usually when they keep leaking out the back and it dips : the non return valve is the problem. #11 in diagram

There is a module you can buy from KP Technologies that will allow you to close up with the remote, but only if you have the OEM alarm.
