My 2006 R53 front windshield reservoir leaks all the fluid poured into it in about 30 seconds...

Does anyone know how to access the reservoir on the passenger side of the car? I have be unable to locate any info on this procedure.

I'd like to detemine if the problem is a cracked reservoir, a loose fitting, etc.

Any help will be appreciated...

Thanks!!

 

I had this problem before, it was due to a rubber coupling popping off one of the fluid reservoir lines. The reservoir is behind the front, right wheel well liner. Easiest way to access it is to jack up the car on that side, remove the wheel, remove all the plastic expansion grommets, remove the wheel well liner, and you should see it tucked behind the panel that is between the door and hood. I added a zip tie to ensure it didn't pop off again.

Hope this helps....

 

Thanks for the info... just re-attached the rubber hose to the fluid container and added a couple of zip ties for security. Off to my mini dealer to get a handful of those pesky expansion grommets!!!

 

I love it when a plan comes together

now who said that?????

 

Glad it worked out for you!
