Title: slow washers
Post by sierra20 on May 26^th, 2009, 7:53pm

What would cause the pressure in the screen washers to build up really slow, if i push the washer button, it takes a good 5-10 secs for the washer fluid to come through

hi there

might be the one way valve is failing, so there's no water in the pipes when you press the button.

sounds like it could be the valve because when the water comes out, it does come out fast, where is the valve, can it be changed?

Aha - I have the same thing - I'll check the valve as well (I actually have a spare :-) ).

I love this site, someone always asks the exact question I have on my mind :-)
