Rear washer bottle conversion too I/C bottle help
I've done this conversion of using the rear I/c bottle for the washer jets but I'm not convinced the power is as good as when it's up front etc.
I can appreciate the extra length of pipe so maybe will be down on power plus I find the washer jets don't cut off as well so water over the bonnet.
Can I use the pump from the old original washer bottle? As in is it more powerful and same fit as I/c pump?.
I've changed the jets over to mist ones and they don't get on the screen so looking for a stronger pump? Anyone have any ideas of what is more powerful?
Thanks Chris

I used a generic bottle and pump on ebay for about £9 new mounted in the boot. Work's fine with loads of pressure through normal 3mm vac hose. Although I found that when I braked the fluid would spill out onto the bonnet due the force of the fluid being pushed fowards as apposed to having to go upwards in the normal setup. I fitted a pressure type check valve on each jet and this stops any leaks and only lets the fluid through when you activate it.
