SL550 R231 Washer Tank Leak

[@MM-ei3kc]

For the first time ever my SL 550 showed need washer fluid. I filled it but now it is showing again. Great video but I was wondering can I just turn the tire hard and pop off section of liner to expose pump?

Hello ei3kc You might be able to do that. I would try first...you can always jack the car and remove the tire if needed. There is not much room to work with unless you remove the tire. Best of luck with your repair!

Use Henry rubberized roof cement, cheap, fast, and reliable fixed. The same price of a 3M tube can buy a ONE gallon can of rubberized roof cement from Home Depot or eBay.

Are you saying to use the cement to fix the original leak?

Thanks for the video. I have an 2011 R230 with a similar leak. I think that it is reasonable to assume that the disassembly is very similar to your R231. Did you replace the pump because of a crack in the case someplace. My washer system works fine but leaks out over the course of about a week. Did you have a jack stand to use with the floor jack once you had the care elevated? If so where did you locate it under the car?

Hello Von and thanks for watching the video. I agree that your R230 is probably similar but check first. I replaced the pump assembly that I found online. It was not from MB but had good reviews and has worked fine so far. In my case, the pump was not cracked but the rubber seal at the base was leaking. I didn't use a jack stand, just a floor jack under the front right jacking point. Best of luck with your repair. Cheers.
