I just got an E55 2002 and a week after I bought it I had an Error for washer fluid low. The temperatures dropped down to around 20 degrees. I bought some fluid and poured it in and the next morning it was empty again. I called mercedes and they said the reservoir was only $42.00 for a new tank and I thought I would tackle the replacement myself.

Has any of you replaced the windshield washer reservoir because on mine it has a side by side tank one for the headlights and one for the windshield. Will I be replacing both or just one of them?

Are there any DIY manuals or does anyone have any post for replacement?

Thanks!!

i have searched everywhere and never found a diy... good luck.. getting that heater unit out is easy... getting it back in...

i never figured it out

everything else is pretty easy

Are you sure it's the reservoir? It may as well be a hose or a pump.

I can have a look at how the reservoir is mounted later today..


Edit
Or maybe it's different on the 55.... doh

Had a quick look in EPC, it looks the same...
There is one nut on the back of the largest reservoir. Unscrew and I think you are able to just pull the whole thing upwards. Disconnect all hoses and wires you can disconnect before you pull it out. The smaller reservoir is just to unplug before anything else so it's out of the way.

Also check the rubber seal for the washer pump that seals the tank to the pump ...seen Several leak

I've had the hose come disconnected near the nozzle in the back of the hood.
