Car screenwash issue

Format the fuckers

 

[Stubbs ftm]

Just smash your windscreen, then you won't need screen wash

 

[The Onion Bag]

Lion shite is the correct answer here.

Get your husband to smear lion shit on it for you.

Clean your blades with wd40 infused rag.

No, no and thrice no. Terrible idea.

Wd40 on your windscreen won't help

Correct.

WD40 is a water dispersant and putting it anywhere near your screen and/or wipers will cause streaks.

The OP needs to get the reservoir completely clean - I suspect it's had something like anti freeze put in there in error - by whatever method it takes.

Refill with water and a decent washer fluid.

Then clean both wiper blades with ideally brake cleaner or at a push, fairy liquid to get rid of any oil or grease.

Or better still replace blades with a new pair of decent quality such as Bosch or Valeo - but only when you are convinced the reservoir is squeaky clean.

My washer tank was bunged up. So i bought a hand pump so i could pump as much water out of tank, then put a bit plumbers drsin clearer in with a bit boiling water, let it settle then flushed out and done the job

 

[Tuono]

Are there bubbles coming out of your exhaust? If there is I think I can pin point the problem.

Trust me it works.

 

[Pancho]

Trust me it works.

Sorry but 40 years in the trade tells me it can't.

WD40 anywhere near a windscreen will cause streaks.

There'll be dozens of others.

Sorry but your advice is dead wrong.

I remember hoying a few sterodent tablets into my old e46 washer bottle. Got rid of the pong and cleaned it right up.

He’s gonna need goggles though

Your system is mouldy, it needs a pull through. Put a dishwasher tablet in there with water and keep squirting it out.
If it’s got oil in there, you’ll need to clean it properly.

 

[Dreadnought]

I was told ages ago that you should always stick to the same brand of screenwash, otherwise different makes can react with one another and cause problems.

Probably not the cause of the issue in this case but you never know!

 

[Mr Redknapp]

You need to fill your tank with liquid Lion shite.

It'll hurt his pride.

 

[Sing in the Roker]

If it’s the stuff ya mix ya self it can cause streaks if it’s too strong n not diluted enough.
If it’s the ready mixed stuff see the various quotes for lions shite
