screen washers

Jan 2nd, 2006, 18:02

Used a dirty can to refill the wiper fluid and got some sawdust in the washer container, tried syphoning out but no luck how do you get to it, can't reach all the bolts - looks like the bumper has to come off !

Any tips?

the bumper doesnt need to come off, its a drivers side front wheel, arch liner, indicator off job.

you then need to release the carbon can thingy (cant remember name) and you can pull the reservoir free.

but, if its only sawdust, why cant you just fill with some warm water with your syphon pipe therfore filling from the bottom of the reservoir, and just keep filling until allthe sawdust floats to the top and over flows ?

well if you need the how to from the haynes manual let me know, i'll mail them over

cheers

why not put the hosepipe in the bottom of it that would shift it easy
