Hi all, Today at rego check, I went to pump the washers to spray water and ....nothing. I had a quick look and the lines were bone dry (its been a year since I last used them). I pumped and pumped but nothing came through? Do I need to bleed the lines? When I take the tubes off the back of the pump it feels as though its sucking, but it was kind of hard to tell at the time. Cheers Ryan |

Check the little valve on the end of the hose that is in the washer bottle? |

the hose just drops straight into the bottle. No valve. |

Yeah I think it needs that little one way valve. Probably fell off last time you filled it. I think one from an aquarium shop might work. |

You need to get all the air out of the pump for best results. It is a probably a good idea to remove the pump so you can turn it to get the air out while pumping. The washers on my 1100 stopped working a while back and I found that the hose on the firewall had been hit by the air-filter splitting the hose. |

In reference to my last post: Maybe not a mushroom then!

G'day Mark, from memory when i done a wiring job on my ignition under the dash , i remember the tube coming in through the dash with the main wiring harness , and down to the pump. Definately not saying that this is the correct route for it. |

These are the two listed on the minisport website. Mini windscreen washer one way valve (early cars) [/url]http://www.minisport.com.au/prod716.htm[url] and Mini windscreen washer valve (sits in washer pump bottle) [/url]http://www.minisport.com.au/prod1870.htm[url] I imagine the bottom one is the one I need. Whats the top one for? Does $15 seem a little steep? [/url] |

I look at it this way, if someone came to you and showed you the valve and said "if I give you $15 will you make me one of these?".....kinda makes it look like good value then!
