What this part does
This washer reservoir stores screen wash and feeds the washer pump to help keep the windscreen clear. A cracked or damaged tank can cause fluid loss, weak washer performance, empty reservoir warning issues and failed MOT visibility checks.
Common symptoms of a faulty reservoir
- Washer fluid leaking under the front of the car
- Screen wash not reaching the jets
- Pump running but no fluid coming out
- Cracked or split plastic tank
- Low-level wash issues after topping up
Why replace it
Using the correct original Ford part helps preserve proper fit, keeps the pump and hose connections seated correctly, and reduces the chance of repeat leaks that can happen with poor-fitting copies.
