I want to strip down the screenwash reservoir to clean out the filters (2004 E53 3.0 D Sport) - the last time I did  this I recall one of the filters had disappeared or had disintegrated so I want to get a new one before i strip it down. I have avague recollection that there were two filters ????

cheers

Hi Smee , now thats a job i never thought of doing,, how do the filters get dirty  i only fill with clean water lol ,  and where are the filters , good luck . Colin ..

Have a look at thisthread.

But does anyone have the part number? And can anyone verify my recollection that there are two filters in the main reservoir rather than one ? I'm 99per cent sure it was two because I'm sure one was clogged and needed cleaned and the other couldn't be cleaned as the mesh had disintegrated and I didn't have time to replace it so I just reassembled

This diagram might help.  The parts are called 'strainers'.  If it's the wrong drawing, then the alternates are under the vehicle electrical system sub-section.

That's interesting thanks very much. I don't even have part number five - must have disappeared somewhere before me! And there only appears to be one number three
