Working behind the bumper (under the car), you can pry the washer pump straight up with a large flat screwdriver (don't try to pull it to one side - straight up only).
Or... you could switch on the ignition, pull the wiper lever, and wait a minute... :lol:
Reminds me of a problem I had last year after my Summer Holiday
Driving the car home I kept getting a foul smell whenever i went over a Speed bump or round a fast corner
It ended up being the water in the washer bottle:wow:
So as AlexGS mentions the simplest way to empty was to disconect the water jet hose at the Bonnet connector and use the pump to pump it all out.
I also refilled with plain water and pumped it out again as the pump does leave some water in the bottle, then refilled with new screen wash.
I did it this way as i did not want the dirty water all over the car.:thumbs:
Ok, thanks for that
I'll do it the long way.... finger on the wash trigger for 10mins
Had it serviced recently, and it's full of almost neat 'winterscreenwash' so it's eating/melting the wiper blades by the second
Just have now to change it to a resonable % summer screenwash
Thanks again
