I went to fill my washer bottle for the first time since I got the van, filled it but then noticed washer fluid was gushing onto the drive.
I think it filled for ages first, wasn't gushing from the start. I have read they are difficult to get out, any suggestion?
On a happier note, I replaced the old paper coned speakers for brand spanking new ones today - slow steps, I know but getting braver!!!

Re: Washer bottle
No help to you but mines the same and you can hear it sloshing when navigating roundabouts. Maybe this is normal. Anyone have the same?

Re: Washer bottle
I filled mine last year too to find a puddle under the van afterwards......that's just reminded me of another job to add to my list of things to check this winter, thanks

Re: Washer bottle
I'm pretty sure that there is an overflow device on it. If I fill mine right up, some comes out onto the drive. It's really easy to take the bottle off and give a good clean. Mine was mostly green. I also changed the pump as it wasn't too good.

Re: Washer bottle
If it didn't overflow the passenger well would become a true well when overfilled!

Re: Washer bottle
I think I'll see how long it goes before filling again and that should tell me if it has a leak. I did read about the overflow. The pump for screen seems fine.
Thanks folks.
