A washer fluid reservoir is a plastic tank that holds the windshield washer fluid in a vehicle. This fluid is sprayed onto the windshield to help clear dirt, debris, and other obstructions, ensuring good visibility. The reservoir is typically located under the hood and connected to the washer pump and nozzles via tubing.

• Fluid Leaks: Cracks or punctures in the reservoir may cause washer fluid to leak, resulting in low or empty fluid levels despite refilling
• Frequent Refill Needed: If the reservoir empties faster than usual, it’s a sign that there may be a leak somewhere in the reservoir or its connected lines.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz.

In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.
