What is the Windshield Washer Reservoir all about?

Windshield washers serve a simple yet extremely important purpose. A dirty windshield obstructs the driver’s view. They are important especially in very cold climates or in areas with a lot of dirt roads. The windshield washer reservoir holds the fluid that is sprayed onto the windshield. The windshield washer reservoir is usually made of a white, semi-transparent durable plastic and will often have a black or colored plastic cap. The capacity of the fluid reservoir depends on the make and model of your vehicle, but usually ranges from 1 to 1.5 gallons.

Keep in mind:

  • Frozen washer fluid is a big contributor to cracks in the reservoir.
  • Different washer fluids are approved for different seasons; make sure to use the correct season's fluid.
  • Repairs may slow the leaking, but most cracked reservoirs need to be replaced completely.

How it's done:

  • The vehicle hood is raised and secured in the open position
  • The windshield washer reservoir is unbolted from inner fender and removed
  • The washer lines are cleaned and flushed out
  • The new washer reservoir is connected and installed then filled with washer fluid
  • The wipers and washers are tested for proper operation

Our recommendation:

Read your owner's manual to see if the manufacturer suggests certain fluids for certain reservoirs. For example, the reservoir to headlight-mounted washers may only take non-freezing fluid as the headlights do not get as warm as the windshield in cool weather. Have one of our expert mechanics inspect the whole windshield washer system when inspecting the reservoir. A reservoir with a crack should be replaced.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Windshield Washer Reservoir?

  • Low or no pressure when activating the washers
  • Fluid leaking out from under the vehicle
  • Filling the reservoir more often than usual
  • Sprayers don’t spray far enough on the windshield or do not spray enough fluid

How important is this service?

This service is fairly important to the average driver and very important to those in cold climates or in areas with lots of dirt roads. Both road salt and ice can obstruct a windshield without anti-freezing washer fluid in the reservoir. Dust and mud can become too thick to wipe away with just the wipers.

Mazda Miata L4-1.8L - Car idle is rough - San Francisco, California
Grzegorz's is very knowledgeable. I can tell he knows his stuff from the way he works around the engine bay. He doesn't seem to know my car well, but seems like he has a rule down to check most cars. He did a lot of test and the one hour diagnostic was probably not enough. He did misdiagnose my IACV. There was nothing wrong with it. I'm glad I didn't spend the $300+ for a new IACV that was quoted. I purchased a used one for $50. I did my own testing on the supposedly defective IACV and the used one. They both have the same resistance reading. I still want to give it the benefit of the doubt and replace my original IACV with the used one. I started the car but the issue still exist. I kinda doubt both IACV are defective so like many people I went online to check the IACV specs and found out the resistance is within working range. I'm not a pro so it took lots of researching to correctly diagnose what's wrong with the car. Didn't want to spend more money to probably get another wrong diagnose again, I did more test on my own. At the end maybe 5 hours of total diagnosing myself, I did a fuel pressure test and discovered my car was running at 20psi and also when I turn the car off, it didn't retain pressure because it just dropped to 3psi within 30 seconds. At this point 100% sure the issue is in the fuel . I have since put my original IACV back on and replaced my fuel pump. The car is running fine again.
