i found the bar in my garage sounds too good i know, but when i was lookin, B&Q did some copper pipe you could buy, which would have been perfect if i hadnt found this, the hole size was about 0.5mm that size...
i do need a better pump thou beacause my standard washer one isnt that powerful any ideas??

Less holes in the bar would create a bit more pressure. Would still wet it through sufficiently I would imagine. I noticed a difference when using mine (on boost) have you? Mine seems to gain a couple of hundred revs with each press of the button. Daz

The screen wash bottle is located in the engine bay right? so are you not spraying ambient temperature water onto your i/c?
Fair play for having a go but if you've now disabled your ability to clean your windscreen whilst on the move it's a bit dangerous and possibly an MOT failure?

Yeh I used the pump 4 the rear wash wipe, which i never use anyway. On wet days the system can be disabled and rear wash wipe connected back up in seconds if the cause needs.
Main reason I created one myself was because the actual proper ones are so expensive.
Give it a go. Pretty easy and does make a difference.
