Windscreen washer hose

Post by Gramwam »

Went to my car yesterday and had a "fill washer fluid" on the dash, which is odd due to the fact I top it up once a week, my road conditions etc.

Checked underneath front right, little puddle in the gravel, so a leak under the reservoir for sure.

Today's investigation, wheel off, lower arch lining off, found the culprit to be a tiny crack/hole in the plastic corrugated hose 1.5 inches from the pump connection. Pump fine and rubber grommet fine, it has been cold here up until last week so just wear and tear where it bends towards the pump.

So, do I cut the hose and connect a 4mm connector, wrap it in Silweld or replace the whole hose?

It's in a very awkward place of course, the routing looks tricky as it runs with electrics by the look of it, thermal cloth wrapped.

Anybody had to re-hose their washer?

I do not have a rear wiper/washer as its the Sport 140.
