Removing Windscreen Washer Reservoir on VW Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo MK III, Polo III, Polo 3, MK 3, 6N - Years 1994-2003
Part: Windshield wipers

Is the windscreen washer reservoir damaged? Let's see how to remove it on a Polo. Lift the bonnet and secure it, then use a screwdriver to unscrew the battery clamp pins (remove the battery). Start by unscrewing the securing pins of the washer fluid reservoir. Once the part is removed from its seat, disconnect the power connector for the pump. Begin cleaning the reservoir with an appropriate cleaning product (if needed). Install the new or refurbished reservoir in the engine bay. Tighten the screws and reconnect the electrical connector.
