Are you in a RHD country? Not in profile.

Do you have an active?

In a word, no.

More pics of the Q?

If I'm not mistaken, I have seen that setup on one other Q here... I was thinking one might be a coolant overflow, but wrong location.

[Ozzie]

Nope, not coolant overflow.... That's located near the engine compartment fuse box.(On the left of the picture below, not shown)

Both labelled on the caps with the symbol for windshield washer.....

I don't get it either!

I just make sure I keep both filled.

yep, same thing here and on the other q i've seen before

how do you know the one beside headlight is not over filled, there is no level with "max" or "min"on the reservoir?

[cplus]

for the active fluid?

the active reservoir is right beside the air filter

[cplus]

for headlamp washer option

maybe, but it has a symbol of windshiled on the cap

If it's for windshield (as it appears)... how can it be overfilled?

Just fill it up until water runs out the top!

PS: Awesome car !!!!!

love the pics.... only thing I am against, is the flared guards to fit the extra deep dish wheels.... the rest.... NOICE!

Everyone, note the rear "stretched" tyres !!!!! JDM tyte!!

[cplus]

Just fill it up until water runs out the top!

will do

btw, did u get your Q from Japanese auction

[hannibal]

for headlamp washer option

I considered that, but didnt realize Q's had that option...

[Ozzie]

will do

btw, did u get your Q from Japanese auction

I got mine from a local dealer, who imports from japan.

So yes, It's a Jap import bought at auction, but I am not the one responsible for bringing it over

[Ozzie]

for the active fluid?

The reservoir for the active fluid is to the right of the air filter.

I know it's a crappy pic, but you should still be able to see the silver cap for it.

how do i clean the inside, it is really dirty i guess one of them is just for water, and this one is for windshield washer fluid

Dear cplus,

Without removing it, I would fill it with just hose water, stir it up to get the dirt suspended in the water, then suck it out with a wet/dry shop vac.

Repeat as required until the dirt is gone.

If required, put in soapy water and stir.
