My wife had an unfortunate accident when someone ran into the nearside front of her Scoda Fabia Comfort. The bodywork was repaired and then weeks after I found that I was filling up the washer bottle every day untill I decided to watch the water going in untill the bottle filled up. The only problem was that the bottle never did fill up and then I noticed a puddle forming on the ground. I have a major problem in that look as hard as I can I can not see where the bottle is. Could someone please tell me how I can find it or is it in one of those places that modern car designers create to confound normal mortals?

Many thanks, I found it and its well worth paying the quote of a little over £60.00 for the inconvenience of taking the wbeel off and unscrewing the cover to replace it.

I summoned up the courage to have a go and found that if the car is jacked up the screws holding the cover can be got at with ease. The problem is that I could not see what one has to do to release the water container. Could anyone offer a hint please.

As I said a day or so ago I got a quote of £66.00 to replace the washer water container but today I telephoned a dealer which is closer to where we live and they quoted £175.00 saying that the front bumper had to come of to get at it. Leaving aside the question of what sort of an idiot would build a car like that I have to ask if anyone has had this problem and if so what sort of price they had to pay.

My guide should give you all the information you need to change it yourself
