Wiper Fluid level indicator

[Ahbengdriver]

This stupid indicator keep popping up saying level is low despite having added like 1.5 litres of water/fluid. ?

Actually what is the volume capacity of the wiper fluid tank.

Its about 4-5L. The tank is just behind your right front fender.

Wah:shock: ...why do I need 4 to 5 litres?
Anyway to reset that thing to chime only when u are down to below 1 litres?

No there isn't a way to reset. Its controlled by a sensor in the water tank that indicates water level. I get that all the time, irritating but liveable.

ABD, juz go to Guardian & buy a few bottle of 1 liter distilled water. Fill it up slowly until fender start to leak water. It means overfilled.

Re: Wiper Fluid level indicator

I thought to fill it up all the way, you will see the water level at the entry hole with the plastic cover. would it simply over flow if you overfill it? so it never becomes full until you can see the water level?

Re: Wiper Fluid level indicator

A bit off-track but on the e46, the sensor is linked to the motor pump - change the pump and cure the prob....

not sure if its the same for the e90's.

I have the same problem recently. No matter how much water I put in 2 days later the alert will be on again. Have called to make a booking for the car to be checked. Will update the findings by PML when done.

Re: Wiper Fluid level indicator

My car was repaired at PML. The motor pump was replaced. Best to get it rectified as it is covered under warranty. No more alert for the past 2 days.
