waterpump wipers
« on: March 09, 2008, 13:07:44 »
I can't remember after disassembling which nipple of the pump is connected to the reservoir and which one goes to the sprayer. Let's speak about the engine side and the fender side for good understanding. Thanks a lot,

Hi Paul. On mine, the engine side tube goes through the firewall, the fender side to the reservoir.

Paul,

You will notice the one on the engine side has a lip on it to keep the hose from popping off...that was my clue when I forgot which one was which.
