Washer Tubes routing

massive · 09-29-2015, 07:47 AM

I'm tackling another issue a previous owner has left me on my early 944.

For some reason they decided to re-route the washer lines from the bottle to the jets on the hood. To do this they removed the section of tube that runs along the front of the car.

Can anyone post a photo of where this tube feeds from the bottle near the headlight > along the front to the other headlight and up the side?

Regards

Found what I was looking for

Seems the routing wasn't entirely wrong after all, although a previous owner has removed the one-way valves which I will need to replace.

For the record, I have three 944's that are totally 100% in working order - everything except for the windshield washers - that is.

I haven't been able to crack the code on them.

Can someone tell me what's meant to happen here? The diagram doesn't clearly show what happens to the connections on the T and L when they go into the cap, surely they don't attach to the same pipe inside the water bottle? Or should there be two pipes inside the water bottle?

2 PIPES IN BOTTLE.
The cap is fragile, so treat it gently

Thanks, are both pipes the same length? And do they both have part 12 attached to the end?

On mine, only 1 of the pipes has the filter fitted .Pipes are similar length

If the one way valves are gummed up would it cause the system to loose prime?

... I have to run mine for a good minute before I get spray. Motor works and tubing is not clogged, what causes the long delay in getting spray?
