Mercedes Benz Truck GLK 350 Technical Problem # LI82-35_P-0532642 Date: 120511
Wiper/Washer System - Washer Fluid Reservoir Leaky
Windshield washer fluid reservoir leaky
Topic number LI82.35-P-053264
Version 2
Design group 82.35 Windshield washing system
Date 05-11-2012
Validity Model series 204.9 with code 875
Reason for change Picture added
Complaint:
Complaint 1: Leaks can occur between the cap with heat exchanger and the washer fluid reservoir, when the container is filled up
Complaint 2: Strain crack on washer fluid reservoir
Cause:
Cause 1: In individual cases, cap with tolerance deviations / defective or deformed seal / uneven sealing surface
Cause 2: Production fluctuations caused thinning-out of the material in the seam area, and in individual cases, this resulted in a strain crack
Remedy:
Remedy 1:
Since: 04 / 2010 Washer fluid reservoir with optimized sealing surface
Since: 11 / 2010 Series production breakpoint, cap on heat exchanger as shared component from model series 251

In event of complaint up to VIN WDC ... ... 1F 606909 proceed as follows:
- Replace washer fluid reservoir
- Replace cap assembly with seals for heat exchanger
- Replace heat exchanger assembly for washer fluid reservoir if the old version is installed.
Because of the new cap assembly, the bar for fixing the two heat exchanger pipes has been moved down by roughly 10 mm
See Figure 1 for new version
Note:
The position of the bar for the current replacement part heat exchanger has already been changed and the previous replacement part number retained
Remedy 2: Conversion of container material to one with higher tensile strength.
Production breakpoint: To be incorporated up to the end of 2011 while retaining the previous replacement part number, following the endurance test
currently under way.
In event of crack formation complaint, replace washer fluid reservoir only!
Remedy 1 + 2
Note:
Since the start of 2011, the current replacement parts through "EPC" have undergone continuous inspection in terms of material quality by the
supplier, before and during the production process. The washer fluid reservoirs are already equivalent to an optimized series production
configuration.
