W205 Washer Reservoir Location

[dwr123]

My 2015 C250 windscreen washers have gone for working to slow dribble to nothing.

I can here the pump so suspect the tank is gunged up.

Is the tank under the passenger side wheel well like earlier models? How do you access it?

TIA

Passenger side behind front wheel. If you turnbuckle wheels to full right lock you can get into to undo the wheel lining. Two nuts from
memory. I managed to pull the plastic lining back far enough to unclog and clean the electric pump. Paper and gunge had blocked the pump but once cleaned all works fine. Just look out for all the washer water that will come out as you pride the pump up out of its rubber grommet. Once cleaned pump pushes back in. Note Estate has a pump with two outlets others have one outlet.

Thanks for the info. I will give it a go when the weather picks up.
