Hi, does anyone know if there is there a drain plug / way of emptying the windscreen washer bottle?
-
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:
-
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:
-
i was going to say, cant you just hold the washer on until it drains?

best not to as any cr@p lurking in the bottom of the bottle can end up lodging down ya pipes missus as you reach the dregs :laugh: worst still block your jets, wouldnt harm the motor though
-
ah, thankyou wise one! never thought of that
-
Thanks guys. I don't want to squirt it out on the screen as washer fluid also strips wax and the car is freshly detailed. I have some aquarium tube and will try the syphon method. :happy2:

Er, I am bound to ask why would you want to do such a thing?

i change my washer fluid twice a year mate, anti fly and smear for the summer, antifreeze and smear for the winter. theres fluids for all manner of environments should you get the urge
-
You could use a soap dispenser??
You know the ones where they have a little spout, and you press on the top to dispense the soap into your hand??
Wash all the soap out of the tube. Use a straw or somet to extend the tube, then stick it in the fluid bottle and pump away!!
lol
Just an idea!
-
so have i got the wrong end of the stick here but you only get thru 2 bottles of washer fluid a year?!
-
Hardly ever use mine! lol

no i swap them, lanes are full of mud down here in the winter and swarms of flying wierd purple blood leaving bugs in the summer

....
I just use the VW washer fluid all year round and Meg's glass cleaner spray when the windscreen gets too messy.

I was gonna ask this question a few weeks ago but because minestinks like you wouldnt believe :sick:
Is there anything that would cause this other than someone pissing in it?

Good luck when you syphon it. :laugh:
-
I think i've only 'squirted' 2-3 times in just over 3 years so thought I would give it a change. I also have a resin water filter vessel which reduces tap water down to 0ppm so I also wanted to be rid of the hard water which is in it to replace with this purer none marking stuff.
Just being uba fussy really :rolleye:

....Just because I'm currently single and free to mingle (no gf), it doesn't mean I don't know about such things.
Er, about Tom, does his girlfriend....nudge nudge, know what I mean, does she, does she....? :evilgrin: Regularly drain her washer bottle?
....On her car of course!!
I thought it was gel which Tom put on his hair.
