Wiper Fluid Line S60

Post by s_watts »

A few months ago I put water fluid in and it just showed up on the driveway. Could not figure it out. Yesterday, I noticed this tube from what i believe is the wiper fluid pump. Where is it supposed to go?

It seems you might be right. I just cannot see how the line got all the way up. I had to clean my water pump because it was clogged and I don't see how you can put the line up.

Anyway to get to the fluid pump you have to take off the front bumper. There are clips on the top and bottom. As usually you have to press the middle portion in and take out the clip. You might need to unscrew two bolts by the front wheels too. I did it a few months back so I don't remember exactly.

To take out the bumper you start with the bottom and then you pull it up. The pump is easily accessible after you take out the bumper. The pump is just pressed in the fluid tank so you can just wiggle/pull it out. There is small strainer that you might want to clean. The strainer is from rubber and it's rally brittle so be careful not to damage it.

The line is just pressed in to the water pump there is no clamp for it - at least I didn't have any.

The hardest part for me in taking the bumper off was to deal with the bottom clips since my bumper has some curb damage. The bumper can be easily taken off in less than 20 minutes.
