[QUOTE="naskeet, post: 632625, member: 15903"] If it is indeed a 1973 model-year VW Type 2, it should have a steering-column mounted windscreen-wiper & washer switch. If the windscreen-washer system is still factory-standard, the washers will be air-pressurised as for 1968~72 model-years, with the switch-lever operating a valve with two hose connections. If the system has been converted to pump water using an electric pump instead of using pressurised air (possibly with a substitute dashboard mounted switch), there needs to be a vent hole of some sort in the fluid-reservoir cap or elsewhere, to allow in air as water is pumped out.
