Hi all,

I've got a B7 Passat and recently had a clogged washer jet. Mine are heated so it wasn't a cheap replacement.
Initially I was trying to clean it and noticed the windshield washer fluid reservoir actually had a lot of black gunk stuck to the sides of the reservoir.

Any thoughts...

The other day I got a loud beep and 'STOP - CHECK COOLANT' display on my 2007 2.0l TDI BKD. I pulled over and checked the coolant, it seemed fine. Started up and no warnings etc. Read that sometimes the sensors go in the reservoir and figured that must be it. Got another warning the following day and...

Hi it looks like I have a leak in the wiper washer reservoir. It looks like a bit of a PITA to remove, inaccessible bolts etc has anyone done this if so is it less of a PITA than I think it is? Also is VW going to charge me an arm and a leg for a replacement? Its a 2009 Passat 3.2 awd. Ta
