Canada How to replace windshield washer reservoir??

Hi,

I have a 4DR 2005 ECHO.
It was in a minor fender bender and the windshield washer reservoir has a crack in it.
I want to replace it.
I've done a few repairs on my other vehicles so I know I'd be able to do this.
Help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Kelstarr

If all the pieces are there try sealing the crack with silicone "Goop" or similar. You may still have to take the tank out and dry it but meseems it'd be the cheapest route, particularly if the pump is in the tank, ... any other accident damage?

I replaced my headlights the other day and I had to move the front bumper cover out of the way. I removed one fastening screw from the inside lip of the wheel well and then pull the front bumper cover forward. This gave me access to the headlight and allowed me to remove the headlight. With the headlight out of the way the windshield fluid tank is accessible, and can be removed easily.

Looks like you could get this for about 50 bucks the good thing if you get one used you will probably get an extra pump out of the deal.

i'm actually going to just replace it.
i found one today; its a 2.3L capacity for $30!

is that the right size for the 2005 CE Echo? There's also a 4.3L one.

Thanks!

$30 is just great! I'd've expected double that for an OEM piece. Is that from a pick-a-part or new? Re size, the bigger a tank you can shoe-horn in there the better IMHO, ...

Check the link above to view the stereo.
I have the same stereo in my 2005 echo.
Due to daylight saving time, we're now an hour ahead but I have no idea how to change the time. If you can help me; it would be greatly appreciated!
