Mondeo Washer Problem

You can on the MkI, or from underneath remove the undertray and use a pair of long nose pliers If you do it yourself, use a small jubilee clip to secure it and always use and additive as this should prevent it from freezing in the first place. Jon

Its actually a Mk2 so I dont how much difference there is ? Stuart

None at all.

Despite a classic chance for Ford to correct the inherent design fault in placing the washer bottle effectively in the cold air blast as the car moves forward, they didn't :-(

I've had the same problem on both a Mk1 and a Mk2 - cure is the same. Jack up drivers side front wheel, remove wheel, remove/peel back inner arch liner and then you can (well, if you're a gynaecologist....) get access to the bottom of the washer bottle where the pump attaches to the small water hoses.

It's a sod of a job though, due to the lack of room to get access to it :-(

Too right !

I've had this happen twice to me in 18 months of owning my MKII ST200. First time I paid Ford to do it. £35. The second time I think I'm going to need to spend about £135 in chiropractor fees !
