washer reservoir dilemma

[Joseph Huang <jhuang@pica.army.mil>]

Hello,

The w/s washer reservoir on this 1991 Audi 90 Quattro is situated in an 
awkward position.  It is below the radiator coolant overflow reservoir 
against the driver's side above the left wheel and strut assembly.  The only 
part of the reservoir that is accessible is the opening in order to refill 
it.  I do not wish to remove the radiator coolant reservoir and various other 
parts (it's quite a tangle) in order to access the washer reservoir.  It 
LOOKS like I can remove the left wheel and the guard in the wheel well in 
order to get to the washer reservoir in order to plug the leak or remove and 
replace it.  However, I do not want to go to all this trouble if there are 
other problems such as having to remove the strut as well.  

Does anyone know a better or the proper procedures to get to the washer 
reservoir without having to remove the wheel and well guard?  Will I have the 
problem of having to remove the suspension and/or strut in order to remove 
the well guard?

Any advice and information will be greatly appreciated.

Note:  I was informed that the removable and accessibility of the washer 
reservoir was not  included in the bentley manual for this model.


Thanks,
