2.4 AMG Petrol - help please

[daz911]

Hi, I need some help with a couple of things, firstly, my washer bottle is leaking ! it squirts water on the screen ok, but as you look from the front of the car, towards the bottom of the huge washer bottle is a rubber gromet (lower left corner) it is leaking water all the time ? should there be a tube in it ? or a bung of some kind ?

Next, my fan is not working and I cannot locate the thermostat, anyone know where it is located pls ?

Thanks in advance
Darren

first off, you need to tell us what year/model/engine this is, most of us over here probabaly have no idea what a 2.4 is.

for the washer leak, just replace that plug. its ripped around the base of it.

Usually on MB washer tank there are 2 holes:
one for windscreen washer pump,
another one for headlight washer pump.

If your car does not have the headlight washer the pump location at the front is plugged by a rubber gromet.

This fails quite often.

If this si the case for you, just go to the dealer and buy replacement.

I would buy 2 - keep one spare.

Cheers.

Thanks for the help, the model is a 1998 2.4L (2400 cc) C240, but AMG converted.

pull up the air filter housing, the thermostat is right there front and center attached to the upper hose.
