Original post notes that I've already replaced the $25 part. It doesn't indicate right.

For those uninitiated in to the "140 way" (which in some cases means to take a simple task and complicate it to hell & gone), there's actually a washer fluid reservoir indicator tube visible to the left of the aux fan cage right up against the edge of the passenger headlamp. It's a plastic tube with level marks that is connected with a hose at the bottom to the bottom of the washer reservoir. The bottom of the tube is even with the bottom of the reservoir. Inside the tube, there's a float with a red plastic tip that's supposed to float on the fluid as it rises into the tube.

Remember your high school physical science class - water seeks it's own level. As you fill the reservoir, the water goes through the hose and rises to the same level in the indicator tube.

When everything works as designed, the red indicator should reach the top of the indicator tube with the reservoir full. My float doesn't "float" - it stays slightly submerged, and therefore the reading isn't accurate.

The low level sensor works just fine. As I've said before - to me, if it's there, it should work. It may just be an issue of specific gravity (let the puns begin) where if you don't use MB-only washer fluid that the float doesn't float properly. I'm just using a mix of water and the cheapo washer fluid you can get from the local parts house.

Other 140 owners - does your washer fluid level indicator work?
