VW Washer Fluid Reservoir - Genuine VW 1K6955453H

Product Information

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.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW 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 VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
