You hear your windshield washer pump working but little or no liquid reaches the windshield?
The windshield washer liquid consumption increases dramatically?
Most probably, this is a tube failure below the hood (bonnet), yet easy to reach and repair.
The windshield washer liquid consumption increases dramatically?
Most probably, this is a tube failure below the hood (bonnet), yet easy to reach and repair.
The windshield washer liquid is pumped from the reservoir through a small plastic tube that turns brittle under the effect of the engine heat or on the place where it bends each time you open your car's bonnet (hood).
|
The tube is shown here with a clear damage at the moving elbow. it broke and lets the windshield washer liquid be pumped beneath the hood (bonnet).
|
The repair is easy and consists of cutting out the damaged part with cutting pliers (the only tool required) and inserting a 6 mm fuel hose to reconnect the tubes. The fuel hose is then secured with cable ties.
That's it!
That's it!
Cut a piece of 6 mm fuel hose that is twice the length of the elbow you removed.
Pour a drop of oil on each side to easily insert it into the windshield washer tube.
