Windscreen washer pipe...

Post by pat466 »

Mines split by the bonnet hinge. I damaged it even more when I tried to 'examine' it :oops:
Anyone got any good tips on repair/replacement?
I have searched the forum but cant find anything.
Cheers,
Pat :)

I just wrapped some electrical tape round it...sounds like its pretty common.
Mine was busted when I got it, I thought for a while that there was a third washer spray and that the pump was a bit weak assed !! :lol:

Damn it! Knew I needed something in Halfrauds! Went and bought an assorted pack of tube connectors thinking thats what I wanted.
Off to the bay now!

How much was heat shrink pipe fix? and where do you get it from? I've been taping mine up for over a year and it's getting a bit annoying now. My mechanic told be it's a pain the ass to put anew pipe in, something to do with the rear pipe bracket.
