Where is refill for screen wash/reservoir under hood on Alpha GTV (new 2nd hand car - no manual - no liquid)?

Sorry to bother experts with something so basic. But really enjoy my old Alpha; have tried to buy manual - but short term just want to be clear which of the re-fill bottles under the hood I should put screen clean liquid into (which symbols or a picture would help). Have a long trip to take next week and don't want to drive without ability to clear screen (and no time outside work to get it looked at)... thanks for all help offered.Where is refill for screen wash/reservoir under hood on Alpha GTV (new 2nd hand car - no manual - no liquid)?
Dunno about a GTV, but on a 156 it's a small blue cap poking out of the space between the engine coolant reservoir %26amp; the left hand side wing.


Try getting someone to operate the washers while you listen at the engine bay( engine OFF) You should hear the electric motor whirr, which should help you pinpoint the filler, which will have a diagram of a windscreen wiper 'arc' on it.


If all else fails, why not give your local Alfa dealer a call?Where is refill for screen wash/reservoir under hood on Alpha GTV (new 2nd hand car - no manual - no liquid)?
I dont have a Alpha but ive had many cars, and they normally had a windscreen wiper picture on the top of the lid of the container. If in doubt take all the lids off and see what solution is in them. Other than that go to Haynes online and type in the make and model of car and maybe they could help you.
I may be wrong here but I have a feling that it is on the right hand side right up against the wing towards the back. It's not apparently obvious because its only a small opening, probably with a blue cap, about the size of a 2 pence piece. Forgive me if I am wrong, I used to work for Alfa Romeo a few years ago and am going on memory alone. The picture will look like a screen shape with a sprinkle of water on it. Hope this helps.

I have a 156 GTA and I'd guess that it is exactly where evelynthemodifieddog has said it would be. You can, of course, always ring Alfa customer service!
