water filler problem

CSLjimmy · 17-12-2008, 03:13 PM

Hi all
I was filling up my windscreen fluid today, suddenly i realized that all the water i was pouring into the car was coming out the bottom, the pipe that connects to the tank must have popped out and its just coming straight out of the pipe, have no idea how i can fix this as its in an annoying spot, anyone know hoe i can fix this?

Thanks

James.

you have to either take out the right headlight or the front bumper to get at it probably easier to do the headlight

thanks mate, will have a look at the headlight,
Annoying its happened, too complicated for what it is lol
the R34 just had a tank with a hole and a lid.

surpised its come out as it is quite a tight fit

might have been coming out for a while, problem is, i live down quite a bumpy farm track, it could have gradually been shaking its self out.

trouble is it is bolted to the bumper so if you take the bumper off to do it you have to hold the whole bumper with one hand while you put the pipe in with the other not easy

Thanks for the pic Mark, good to see where it really is, wasn't sure where the tube led this morning. I could have a go at the bumper but anything i try to mend always breaks lol.

Take the wheel arch liner off at the front of the wheel and you should get your hand in to pop it back on
