Hi

I recently purchased a Toyota Aygo 08. I tried filling up the windscreen washer tank and the water just pour out from under the car as soon as I pour water in. What could be causing this? How would I be able to remove the tank to see if it has a hole in it?

Thanks

probably the pipe that takes the fluid out has come off.

Thanks. Any idea how I would be able to pop the pipe back in place on this car model?

have a look all around the reservoir and you should see a pipe lose somewhere near the bottom just pop it back on. Failing that you have a split in the reservior so it will need replacing.

Possibly a clip that just needs tightening?

Unfortunately the pipes connected to the reservoir are not visible under the bonnet. Also the wheel covering does not let me see anything from under the car :(

Good luck with this one. Many modern small cars have the reservoir "built in" to the front wing or other enclosed area and can be very awkward to get at without quite some dismantling. Can you see all of the reservoir or just the "fill up" neck. If the latter, prepare yourself for a bit of work!

You have to remove the splash Guard to gain access to the reservoir.
