|  2.4 AMG Petrol - help please 
			
			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.

				I guess the gromet plugs just deterioated?
			 
			
			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. |

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