Hey guys, I noticed I was losing coolant and had no leaks. Recently I was thinking it’s coming from my washer fluid, when I used the windshield I can see some coolant stains.
what I did was drain my washer fluid and refilled my coolant reservoir and exactly what I thought, after a short drive it filled the washer fluid reservoir. I believe it’s the heating element I need to replace but anybody know if this can be fixed without replacing the whole unit?
Thanks, Tom! I just ordered the OEM part from AutoHausaz, should arrive in a day or 2. Looks like the center screw was loose and coolant was squirting out of it and I also noticed a crack (circled in blue pic below). Hopefully this solves the problem, I don't see the coolant getting there any other way except for the heating element.
Does the heating element function and heat up the windshield washer reservoir fluid even when I don't use the wipers?
Would recommend coolant flush (is your coolant not red?) and coolant reservoir replacement to go back to 15yr interval.
Yeah for my model w222 2014, the dealer puts blue coolant not the red one (not sure why but I have seen 2015 and up with red). The filter is different too, its the full skinny cylinder shape vs the shorter thick filter with triangle part sticking out.
