mk1 washer pump

[pipeforce]

Can any one help to explane how the windscreen washer pump system works I have the pump and the bonnet squirters but am missing the bottle that lived in the engine bay and the connecting tubing but if i can find out how they all work together i'm sure i could make something up.
Cheers Rich

is this for your 66 pickup it proberbly wont have an electric pump my 70 is done on a foot pump

the bottle on mine actually fell offonto the manifold and melted so swapped it temararly for a pop bottle



but this is left had drive so yours might be the other side

[pipeforce]

Yes it is the other side mounted where the steering box would go on a left hand drive I've still got the frame but no bottle. Thanks for the picture but it still dose'nt shed any light on the set up and yes it is for my 66 pickup

theres a foot operated pump screwed to the floor under the heater,tube goes into bottle and tube goes to screen jets,fill bottle and jump up and down in the cab and it shoots on to the screen tubes are pushfit like used on a fishtank setup

I to have a pop bottle I could do with the real thing.

Or just get a donor bottle with electric pump from whatever vehicle and dump the crappy rubber bal thingy pump.

Is that washer bottle being cruelly crush-fitted
on the Red vehicle?

Oh sorry I didn't read the post correctly I'll go and lick my tyres clean!

About the bottle falling on the manifold, how did it fall? shouldn't it fit on that shelf opposite(rhd) the steering box below the manifold.
the original bottles are quite rare as they go hard and brittle

it fell off on my way back from fetching the van from germany the photo was took when i got back tho to replicate it

i think for practicality i'll swap it for an electric pump one

My MK1 has got an electic pump, and still retains the original round bottle.

There's a seperate switch on the dash to activate the pump.

It all looks like original fitment and not a DIY job.

I can get some piccies if you need them.

i think they are origanal mabe a 71+ addition as some of mine have had them

if your not into origanality best to swap as the bottle isnt very big for todays traffic - in 1971 on the M1 once you got past watford gap you didnt see another car till you got to sheffield - so my dad tells me
