Mini Cooper Washer Fluid Problem

My 2004 Mini Cooper diesel is showing a washer fluid low warning, and the windshield washer system isn't working. There's an error stored in the error memory. Could this simply be a wiper water level issue?

Sounds familiar! Had a similar issue with my old Renault. Did the dashboard light come on, and then the whole wiper system just quit? For me, it was a faulty sensor. Maybe check if that's the problem?

A faulty sensor, huh? Where exactly is that sensor located? Is it easy to get to?

Yeah, that's how it went for me. Light, then nothing. I'm no mechanic, but I think the sensor is part of the washer fluid reservoir. I ended up just taking it to a workshop. They sorted it out quick.

Thanks for the tip. Turns out the wiper water level was indeed too low. Dashboard light is off now and spray jets are working again. 25€ repair cost.
