| Hi all,
The original plastic screen washer bottle on my v4 has split, where it meets with the metal mounting bracket. I read that some people have repaired the plastic, but I thought this was unlikely to work for me because the split would be constantly forced open by the pressure from the bracket.
Since the pump also sounded like it was on its last legs I replaced the whole thing with a cheapo generic bottle and pump (and I mean really cheap -about a tenner!) It fitted fine, but it has a plastic mounting bracket which looks like it has softened with the heat from the engine (it's in the original position by the exhaust manifold), so the bottle is no longer secure.
My next plan was to get the 'wipac' universal washer bottle which looks like it has a metal bracket (I'd check first), but before wasting more money on something that doesn't work I thought I'd ask if anyone here has had the same problem, and what they've done to fix it.
Thanks,
Joe |
