You do NOT have to pull the bumper and headlight out to do this job. I just did it from inside the wheel well. You might be able to do it with the wheel on the car, but i pulled my wheel off for extra clearance.

[@1AAuto]

+Derek Dieterich If you're capable of successfully getting through with shortcuts, great job! We try to make these steps as laid out as possible for anyone new to automotive repairs. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnstuebner9143]

Me too wasn’t as bad as I THOUGHT. My car had headlight washers as well just one more connection

[@saulsandoval1052]

Exactly 👍🏼

[@artursz3881]

Exactly there is easy access through wheel arch. It's about 15-20min job.

[@mousiee7]

Thank goodness. I was about to say this is a bit much for just the reservoir

[@markpurnell7437]

Other videos show removing only the driver's front wheel and fender liner. I'm glad I have an A6 if that is what it takes to service an A4. No point removing your shirt and loosening you belt to brush your teeth.

[@SKCCP]

Thanks for your demonstration. I really regret of having my Audi A4. A stupid design.

[@TheCrankydragon]

cool looks like all i need is a licensed mechanic and a workshop

[@marysolpantoja8677]

I don't have enough patience to do this job ,Please help me friend, M .sos ..

[@jamiemccort8388]

Why not take the wheels off to make life more easy? 🤔

[@saulsandoval1052]

You guys do it the very very hard way😱😱its more easier just take the tire off and the wheel well and you there.

[@1AAuto]

+Saul Sandoval We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair.

[@Lonnie91a]

Wow you did a lot of extra work. You only need to remove the driver side wheel and inner fender liner. That’s a lot of unnecessary labour if a customer is paying by the hour.

[@nic6754]

Holy mother of god that looks difficult! And i was looking forward to cleaning out my reservoir because the washer nozzles keep getting blocked. Guess not!

[@brucevasquez3656]

Just take driver tire off an remove panel around the tire. Took me 6 to 10 minutes to replace with out having to take all this apart

[@datsuntoyy]

You say this is for an 09, this looks like a B7. I have an 09 but it's a B8. Did they change model mid year?

[@clumpymold]

I feel like there must be an easier way. I remember doing this and I DEFINITELY didn't need to remove the front bumper or the headlights. Maybe it was just the upper reservoir?

[@deasttn]

I saw a video where the guy just removed the left tire and inner fender and was able to get the upper and lower container off through the wheel well.

[@ddieterichful]

There is. I just did it from inside the wheel well.

[@claystaggs8908]

Easiest thing in the world, I just went ahead and pulled the motor out and transmission. Took a few more tools but it made the job so much easier 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[@yantz8281]

This guy is doing SO MUCH extra work for this

[@oldscout80]

I know! But at least we know how to get the bumper and all the other stuff off now!

[@Gtrjerry73]

Definitely dont need to pull the dang bumper and intercooler... everything r did was accessible from the wheel well. Just pull the fender liner and wheel off... this us why dealerships charge so much for repairs.

[@1AAuto]

+jeremiah white We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair. Thanks for checking us out!

[@Lonnie91a]

I guess it depends how much labour money the shop is trying to soak the customer for.

[@taylerthompson7559]

This car you have the take the bumper off for every f*}*#*#*# thing!!!

[@marysolpantoja8677]

Omg it's look easy , but needs to remove the whole bumper,.

[@1AAuto]

+Marysol Pantoja It is and don't worry! It seems more daunting and challenging than it actually looks!

[@Traveler5911]

Brother remove front wheel also easy to work

[@TsarOfRuss]

That wasn't easy at all

[@1AAuto]

+Fedor Amuricano Thank you for checking us out. We're sorry to hear this was more difficult than expected, but hope it helped you identify tips/tricks for the repair if you need to make it. 1aauto.com

[@deasttn]

It's an Audi. What did you expect?

[@Khananyahu]

I thought this video had more info on head light and bumper replacement

[@franciskersher8576]

Wow..no need to do any of this. Just the inner fender well on the drivers side and you are good.

[@baloukafou2962]

Hi, change the tittle by "replace Washer Fluid Bottle & the Front Bumper" and do another video tittled "Replace the Washer Fluid Bottle Only (easy way)", you will not have to remove this video (wich is to be honest the hardest way), and make more views with the new video wich to be honest will be helpfull for the community that follow you my friend !

[@johnstuebner9143]

I found jacking up left. Front taking the tire and inner fender liner out is all you need to do bumper and intercooler removal not necessarily unless you don’t want to remove tire

[@markusroby4252]

Awesome DIY video, much appreciated! However, strangely your site doesn't offer the reservoir replacement? Can you point me in the right direction? Would live to purchase a replacement reservoir tank - thanks!

[@eddyfinkful]

My A4 rear washer, water not getting there. Left side front footwell, always has leaks, since I brought car, second hand. Now, from your video, I can see it might be the connection under the water reservoir. Front washers deliver jets, rear ones, does not . I know the motor is working at rear. Live in the UK. Looks like, that maybe the reason! I'm dyslectic, so to attempt things where bolts have to go back where they come from , in the right order, worries me. Guess I'll pay Halfords guys to do this but with bonus of knowing this might be cause!. Thanks for the video, though!

[@1AAuto]

+Chris Sawyer Thanks for checking us out! 1aauto.com

Have you sorted out your leak from passenger side footwell?
