i poured window fluid in there and it just fills up to the top, only about a cup of fluid got in and it reached the top, so its obviously empty and i cant spray any fluid out on my window.. any suggestion before i bring it to the shops?

it might be frozen. I was using the same non-namebrand windshield washer fluid from when i refilled during the summer. didn't even think about it freezing. never using that brand again.

if only half a cup filled it up, that means theres still lots of fluid in it. I remember the last time i ran outta fluid, I poured it into cups and then poured it into the container (because the bottle of washer fluid was huge and i had no funnel). It was more than 2 cups before I even saw the blue rising in the skinnier section o fthe container

its probably clog then.

I guess no one else has had this problem let on this forum, so no one's replying...


Trying to fix your problem wouldn't really be too hard for the average DoItYourself'er, but there's a lot of work. You're going to have to take your front bumper off to see the main part of the container. The container isn't clear so you probably won't see it's contents very well, but you should check for any damage (maybe your fluids are leaking out).

There's not too many parts involved so it won't get complicated. You can probably take out the container yourself and see if anything inside is stalling. But as i said, for the experienced modders, this would be a cinch. If you don't feel like stripping and messing around with your front end, you should take it to the dealership and let them handle it. They should cover that under warantee.

Here's the few parts involved with the windshield washer system:
