Where abouts are you? Name your time and place and I'm sure a few people will turn up.

Filled up my washer bottle a while back and noted it was full of old shite.
So, this evening I got round to whipping it out and cleaning it.
Image
It's very easily removed from the bay, just a 10mm socket is all you need, then disconnect the power and water pipe.
Then, I took out the pump -

The state of it inside.... :shock:
Image

into a hot sink of soapy water......and a good scrub internally.
Image

Much cleaner now, :wink: Image

Refitted it, refilled with fresh clean water and it works a treat and looks so much better. All in all, about 10 mins to do it. :cyclops:

What did you use to scrub the inside?? I tried this earlier in the year but could only get to a small portion of the interior.

That could be very awkward, and embarrasing, if you didn't own one :mrgreen:

BTW, Dunno if the washer bottles are dishwasher proof.

I'd say you could pop in it in with your dinner plates Ivan :mrgreen:
It looks like good robust plastic.

The sun was shining today, so top down, warm jackets on, beanie hats on, heater on and my little girl Molly as co-pilot!

We have a lovely sunday drive, just the 3 of us, me, Moll and the 5 - it was good to get the car out of the shed! :wink:

I had a good productive day, fitted new wheels,( banded steelies, 15x8's and 15x9's), set up the height on the coilovers properly, rolled all the arches, modified and fitted a splitter from a mk3 golf, stuck on some anti jap stickers and cleaned it!
