Washer Bottle?

[valbarley]

The windscreen wash doesn't work

Reading around it appears to be the air pressure type

The only instructions I can find are for a beetle, where the air pressure comes from the spare tyre

Where is the air pressure supposed to come from on the bus? At the moment I just have a valve dangling by the water bottle

Pump the bottle up with the valve!

Mine lasts a good couple of months and I keep a bicycle pump in the glove box

stuck the 12v tyre inflator in the cigarette lighter but it was already reading 42psi. Poked the holes with a needle outside and they work...yayyy

Actually they are shite :roll: It's like a game guessing if the spray will reach the windscreen wipers....

Not trevi fountain is it....

 

[Bwuttonmoon]

42psi :shock: :lol:

Mine was cream crackered so I replaced it with a electric washer bottle.. Add water, press button, job jobbed!!

I really recommend it for a layout of around £20......

Mine were shit, I'd press the button and the washer fluid would drizzle out and run down the front panel :-/ thought f*ck that and made up my own electric conversion :-D

That's because the bottle is too full of water.
You only need to fill with water half way and then the air pressure will last longer because there's more air in the bottle.....
