windscreen washer
« on: September 26, 2011, 19:04:19 »
Odd one...

If my screen wash bottle/bag is full, I get a decent spray and can clean the screen well enough

If the bottle/bag is not full, I get a trickle, lots of foam and not much else

It's been suggested that the pump maybe at fault but I am curious if anyone has had a similar problem and solved it!

Thanks all

Hi Tosh

My limited hydraulic experience would suggest a hole in the suction pipe - perhaps a little below the full mark in the bag. As soon as the level reaches the hole it sucks some air and at that stage you get a reduced stream and froth. I would just check the pipe for a small hole just below the waterline.

Cheers
