MkIII washer fluid reservoir location
Sorry to bother you with a stupid question. I have a brand new cobra (SP02936) sitting in my garage and yesterday I've realized the windshield washer doesn't work. Then, when I tried to find out what's wrong I couldn't find the reservoir anywhere in the car. The only things I found is a little plastic tube, wire and something looking like a mounting plate in the engine bay, next to the ventilator in front and on left side of the engine bay. Is my car missing the tank, am I blind or it's hidden somewhere out of sight?
Thanks Milan |
That is where it should be (not that you will ever use it). Contact your installer.

Milan,
Congrats on your great new car!! The reservoir is on the left side of the engine bay in front of the brake master cylinder. My advice is don't bother with it. When I bought my car in 2006 the original owner told me "good luck getting that to work". The reservior had blue fluid in it when I bought it. Same blue fluid in it today. I hope you enjoy your Superformance as much as I enjoy mine. Jack |
Mine works, I get confused on which switch is the headlight and before I know it water is squirting on the windsheild. Unless required by inspection I would not mess with it.

Milan: Late model SPF's have the reservoir located in front of the cross member (located in front of the engine). It is located directly behind the left side radiator fan motor, on the left side of the engine compartment, secured to the inner fender well. If you look you'll probably find the mounting bracket there. Many times installers remove the reservoir tank because it sometimes interferes with the front oil cooler oil hose routing or they think people will rarely use the windshield washer system to begin with. The washer pump motor is mounted to the bottom of the reservoir.

Madmaxx, I wondered how do they expect you to remember which toggle switch is for what. I was complaining to my daughter-in-law on a ride and she pointed out the toggle switches are consistent with the knobs. The head lights are above the panel light knob, the window washer toggle is above the wiper knob, etc. Wonder how many owners know that? LOL.
