996 washer bottle

[Cayenneand996]

Our early 996 empties its washer bottle after a few days

Any thoughts please - how easy is this to sort out at home or is this best fixed at a garage - I am relatively competent with the tools

Thanks

Yes. It is common for the Rads to go on the 996's. Just thinking it may not be just a leaking water bottle. Just trying to be helpful

Take off your LH wheel arch liner, the bottle is tucked up in the aft upper corner. Your one appears to be leaking, check for the seal around the pump attached to the bottle (or for a crack in the bottle itself; very unlikely).

Better check the IMS bearing at the same time.

Yes it will donut Have an Audi that does just that (or did till I replaced the rad).

I have no real reason to doubt you but why is the windscreen washer bottle linked to the radiator in any direct way?
