Basically I need to clean out my washer bottle (starting to get a build up of crap in there) and I'm thinking removing it may be the best option?

Anybody got a step by step to follow? Just so my trial and error doesnt see me taking apart loads more than I dont need to and then getting annoyed at anything! Having a quick look at it the first step is those weird black plastic clip things holding it around the top, do these pull off, or?..

If I'm gonna break everything anybody recommend a method of cleaning the bottle out?

Will kettle de-limescale thingy or bleach be any good?

Somebody else must have had this, bottle was fine over winter, but now with the warmer weather it smells a bit off, and want to clean it before it gets worse.

Cheers, Ed

Soda crystals will get the crap off it.

To remove you need to take the battery out, remove the two speed nuts at the top, and then the one at the bottom right. Lift the top up off the threads then gently wiggle the bottle towards the other side of the car. YOu need to be careful as it connects to a secondary washer bottle in the wing via a fragile spur off

Also make sure the bottle is completely empty before removing it!
