Se7enBTCC Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Morning all,Just completed a track day and the windscreen wash was pouring out of the nozzles and up the windscreen every time I braked. The nozzle itself looks secure and not happened before, I spent the sunny day with the windscreen wipers on. Anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve please?ThanksPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Piers300 Posted April 28, 2021 Area Representative Share Posted April 28, 2021 Only ever fill the water bottle to half and this reduces it substantially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Only half fill it .... even that will last over a year. Ours does it as you accelerate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team Toughie Posted April 28, 2021 Leadership Team Share Posted April 28, 2021 Do you get the same problem blatting, or only on track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se7enBTCC Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Thanks all, never had it before track day on Monday, it literally pours out on heavy breaking and tank is only half full. Took it on a blat today and had the same issue, albeit less extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Toughie Posted April 28, 2021 Leadership Team Share Posted April 28, 2021 So it would appear that something has changed. How old is your car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team Toughie Posted April 28, 2021 Leadership Team Share Posted April 28, 2021 I know I'm not being much help here, but...You say "pouring up the windscreen". Was it pouring as if the washer jets were working, as in a full squirt, or as if the water pressure of a full bottle under heavy breaking was pushing it out?And what happens if you operate the wash function, does that still work as normal?

Se7enBTCC Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Pouring as in being forced out but I don't think it's through the jets, basically streams up the windscreen at all angles. I suspect I'll have to work out how to take the nozzle off. They work fine if I try and clean the windows using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Have you got the one way valve fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 something like this will allow water flow under pressure from the pump but the spring loaded valve inside will prevent surge discharge.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203355477917?hash=item2f58ee579d:g:8TgAAOSwdDZgfuuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I have one, it's called a dribble valve.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se7enBTCC Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 Thanks all, dribble valve sorted it. Installed between bottle and the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
