Hi,
I have a Ford Mondeo and need help to repair leaking water bottle please? Is there an easy way to do this? I can see the water escaping under the car as I fill it up.
Thanks for any advice.

I think the fault will be a loose pipe,very common on mondeos, remove the lower panel torx screws to reveal the bottom of the washer bottle and the pump, usually a pipe will have come off the pump outlet, there is very little freeplay in these pipes so it can be quite fiddly to refit, especially when lying on your back.good luck.

Thanks for your answers. We thought of plastic bag too, but on looking in bottle there isnt a tube that goes down, like a water sprayer, just an empty bottle. So maybe the tube is at the bottom of bottle or outside?
Think we will have to remove it to see. Any ideas on how to repair leak on plastic bottle please? We have MOT in a few days, and no time to order new one.

The MOT did pick it up, but didn't fail on it (lindylou), just recommended it be done. We have ordered a new cat . as did fail on that! So will ask the mechanic to look at water bottle at same time. As you say Hugh, can be complicated, and car is old, so could do more damage.
