Draining down washer bottle?

(1/5) > >>

Tarmac_Terrorist:
Hi, does anyone know if there is there a drain plug / way of emptying the windscreen washer bottle?

VC:
dunno bout a drain

but option 2 is to go to pet smart, get a small length of aquarium hose (its nice and small so threads down well). place it in the bottle, suck the fluid 3/4 of the way up the pipe and cork the end by putting your thumb over it, put it down outside the car by the wing, it must be lower than the contents of the bottle, take your thumb off and it will drain out

syphoning  :happy2:

v2brett:
other then removing the bumper and getting the bottle off id say the same as cherry or hold the washer on and empty the tank and repeat with clean water to flush it out but this method prob wont do the motor any good  :happy2:

JPC:
i was going to say, cant you just hold the washer on until it drains?
