Where abouts are you? Name your time and place and I'm sure a few people will turn up.

With lots of help from PJ and entertainment by Dylan, we got my clutch fluid changed, it was pretty bad...

Plus turbo oil return line oil leak fixed and indicator now indicating at a normal speed.

Filled up my washer bottle a while back and noted it was full of old shite.
So, this evening I got round to whipping it out and cleaning it.

It's very easily removed from the bay, just a 10mm socket is all you need, then disconnect the power and water pipe.
Then, I took out the pump -

The state of it inside.... :shock:

into a hot sink of soapy water......and a good scrub internally.

Much cleaner now, :wink:

Refitted it, refilled with fresh clean water and it works a treat and looks so much better. All in all, about 10 mins to do it. :cyclops:

What did you use to scrub the inside?? I tried this earlier in the year but could only get to a small portion of the interior.

Could you stick it in the dishwasher?

leamyj · **Posted:** Fri, 06 Nov 2009 7:47 +0000

That could be very awkward, and embarrasing, if you didn't own one :mrgreen:

BTW, Dunno if the washer bottles are dishwasher proof.

I'd say you could pop in it in with your dinner plates Ivan :mrgreen:

It looks like good robust plastic.

The sun was shining today, so top down, warm jackets on, beanie hats on, heater on and my little girl Molly as co-pilot!

We have a lovely sunday drive, just the 3 of us, me, Moll and the 5 - it was good to get the car out of the shed! :wink:

I had a good productive day, fitted new wheels,( banded steelies, 15x8's and 15x9's), set up the height on the coilovers properly, rolled all the arches, modified and fitted a splitter from a mk3 golf, stuck on some anti jap stickers and cleaned it!
