I know it's trivial but windshield washers are required to get my new car through the safety check.
I know it is fairly easy to jerry rig an electric pump - had to do it on the old car. But if the water valve is still working I want to try it stock - less time to get it on the road. The valve that is screwed into the water bottle doesn't seem to be allowing air into the bottle. There is a little ivory bit in there that pushes against a tiny plunger. Looks like some sort of rig to keep you from draining all the air from the tire. I've managed to get air flowing twice now but just momentary and nothing that I can replicate. Anyone delt with this before? Soak it in dish washer for a while? WD40? Thanks |
