Washer reservoir design

Windshield washer reservoirs are unified and consist of the following main structural elements:

The tanks also contain various structural parts, listed below:

When repairing a tank, pumps are installed through holes with inserted rubber bushings. The pump installed on top can be fixed with a plastic cap nut. The pumps at the bottom of the tank are held in place by the elasticity of rubber bushings. The tanks are attached to the body either using brackets molded on them, or using separate baskets or clamps.

In the first case, the tank is secured using holding brackets, and in the second, it is inserted into a metal basket or secured to a clamp installed on the car body. The level sensor will notify you in time that the liquid is running low. They are located at the top of the reservoir and connect to an indicator on the car's dashboard.

Cars #68. VAZ-2151

Hi all! Today, a little more about the domestic auto industry, or rather about one of the VAZ developments of the early 2000s. We will talk about model 2151.

VAZ-2151 is a concept presented to the public at the Moscow International Motor Show in 2002. The car is positioned in the B class and is a project to replace the “classic” models of the Lada brand, in particular the VAZ-2104.

The car is designed on a classic car platform. In size, model 2151 is slightly larger than the VAZ-2104 station wagon. With the base “stretched” by almost 200 mm, the car was 60 mm wider than the “four”. At the same time, the concept was quite tall - 1535 mm.

The concept had a fairly spacious compartment with a volume of 500 liters. At the same time, the rear row of seats could be folded and thus increase the useful volume of the trunk. The interior was spacious, there was enough headroom even for tall passengers. With the increased dimensions, the curb weight of the car increased by only 60 kg, so the modernized Nivov 1.7 engine allowed it to reach a speed of 165 km/h (theoretically, because there were no sea trials).

Washer reservoir malfunctions

The most common malfunctions:

There are various reasons for replacing the tank. If it gets sharply cold and the frost-resistant liquid has not yet been filled, the container may burst. To avoid this, you need to purchase a frost-resistant liquid with high stability properties. If regular fluid is frozen in the tank, then you should warm up the car and wait until it melts. Next, you need to drain it and fill it with anti-freeze.

Repairing the tank as a whole is possible, but unprofitable due to the fragility of the plastic. Repairs are most often relevant for older car models.

Therefore, in the event of a breakdown, immediate replacement of the tank is required.

How to remove the washer reservoir?

To dismantle the washer reservoir you will need: pliers, a screwdriver, and an open-end wrench. The vehicle must be placed on a level surface to avoid rolling, the engine must be turned off and the parking brake must be raised. Next, open the hood. It happens that the tank is covered with protective linings. In this case, they must be dismantled, and then the wires from the fluid level sensor and the washer motor must be disconnected. Using pliers or a screwdriver, loosen the clamps and fixing pipes that supply fluid to the injectors. Unscrew the screws securing the container body to the body. Then pull the screws up and remove the reservoir.

Design features

The car window cleaning and washing system must always be in good working order; traffic safety largely depends on it. Its main component is a special tank; the efficiency of the entire system will depend on its serviceability. The volume, size and shape of the vessel will depend on the make and model of the vehicle. On average, the product can hold from 2.5 to 4 liters of water. The volume may be increased if other components, such as the rear window or optical elements, are to be serviced.

The design characteristics of the container may depend on its type. Most units can be divided into two main categories: universal types and designs used for a specific make and model of vehicle.

The product usually has a rectangular shape, one or more electric motors can be located on one side, and there must also be a hole for a sensor to control the water level in the tank. The vessel is made of white plastic, thanks to which the car owner is able to independently determine the amount of anti-freeze remaining.

Where is the structure located?

The windshield wiper container is located in the engine compartment, but the car owner has access to its neck and cap, so the windshield washer can be filled at any time.

It is not possible to visually inspect the integrity of the system. To do this, you need to go to a car service center or independently disassemble the structure located under the bumper or from the bottom of the engine compartment. In some cases it may be necessary to remove the wheel. The exact location of the product will depend on the internal layout of the power unit components.

GAZ Sobol A car for the soul. › Logbook › Installing a business washer reservoir (in the wing).

Hi all. The other day the windshield washer reservoir leaked. I decided to change it to a new one. Here on the website I read that people are installing tanks for business. I decided not to waste time on trifles and also set up a business.

I went to the car market and bought a tank and a connector for connecting the motor. I took off everything unnecessary.

I decided not to invent anything, to install it as everyone else does. I tried it on, it fits perfectly

I drilled the missing hole, found the studs for fastening and screwed them in.

Well, that means we’ll have to invent something again. I found two ten-point bolts at work and gave them to a turner. He drilled holes in them and tapped them into six.

All that remains is to adjust the sprinklers. Well, that's all for now. Bye everyone.
