Hi, thanks for allowing me to join. I own a C5 Aircross Hybrid 2020. It’s been great so far but something has happened to the widow washer bottle. It doesn’t seem to hold liquid anymore. When I top it up it only stays full for a couple of hours and will drain out onto the floor. I’m told this isn’t covered under warranty but does anyone know how easy it is to replace? Thanks

You first need to ascertain where the fluid is leaking from. As there are pipes for the washer fluid at the sides and underneath the reservoir it could be a pipe or the tank, especially considering the reservoir alone costs £150.
If it is a split tank then I argue the toss with the dealer as it should have failed yet. If no joy then you could repair a split with a hot soldering iron and carefully melt and join the split sides.if it's a pipe then that can be replaced cheaply
