Well, I got all the nice little parts to put my windshield washing pieces together. So after hooking up the various ruber hoses, hose to solution container, hose to spare wheel for power, I smiled and shut the hood. I then see the passenger side nozzle shooting water out like crazy (and of course, not aimed right, going up over the top of the car, not even hitting the windshield). Pulled off the air supply. What happened? Is there a one way valve in the actual nozzle itself? I know the supply is air driven but when you lift the wiper lever towards you what does that do? Electrical action? Need help here before I buy a new nozzle which I will do but would like to know how the system works. Had the same thing on the 1964 VW I bought new but that was soooo long ago, I can't remember what actually starts the water on its way.
Thanks. |

nope, the water actually runs through the steering column!!! the spare tire puts pressure on the bottle, from the bootle you have a hose going to the steering column to the lever, from the lever you have a second hose go back to the cowl area. there you have a splitter that will feed 2 hoses, one for each of the nozzles ... if that seems a bit "old-fashioned" to you, check out my article on how to upgrade your system to a electric washer pump ... http://www.914world.com/specs/tech_el_washer.php btw. the bottle cap has a check valve that will prevent the spare tire from going flat. soooo, in order for the stock system to work right, the spare tires needs some air pressure ...
