Hi;
My name is Bob Galvin from Olive Branch, MS and I am a new member.
Looking for some help in replacing the windshield washer reservoir in my 1996 XJ6. Not sure if that's the total problem for the leak but seems to be the most obvious at the moment. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Bob Galvin

 

Bob,

I've moved your question from XJ ( X305 ) XJ12 to X300 forum.

Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Welcome to the forum, Bob. Glad you've joined us!
As you probably know, it lives in the lower right front corner. There are a few threads on here; Some have fitted a plastic bottle and others have found a reservoir from another car is a good fit. Can't recall but I believe it was some sort of Chrysler. All this due to the expense/lack of availability of the original. I'll try to find them and edit back some links. If you have the replacement in-hand, you should be able to find the procedure in the stickies, I believe the manual is available for download there - but you may need to boost your post-count to 10 for upgrade to full-status in order to access it.

There are probably more .....

 

i used a washer fluid bottle off a 93-97 dodge intrepid.close fit but not as tall as original...steve.

 

 

Is the bottom damages to the point where it can't be patched. I have used the JB weld, Water Weld, on mine, and it was a big hole, and has been good for over a year

 

I used an old T shirt and epoxy to fix mine. It's been good for over year.
Cleaned the reservoir, scuffed up around the edges of the hole. Drilled any spider cracks. Cut T shirt material to be 3/4" - 1" larger than necessary. Soaked it in 5 minute epoxy and then laid it over the hole. After the epoxy was set up I mixed up one more batch of epoxy to add some thickness and go over the edges of my patch.

 

Fits perfect
