I've just had my sti3 out, and took it through the revs fairly lively.... at about 5000 revs the rear windscreen washer started spraying on the rear windscreen :confused: It normally doesn't spray even when I ask it too, I thought it was blocked or something as I can still hear the pump.... very very :confused:

Is there something that could be putting more pressure through these pipes at high revs? I would of thought not...

Bet thats a real 'smack in the mouth' for the 'lesser' cars that we all overtake on the road, not only do you 'skin' them, but you give them a good spraying too!! LOL- Classic!:D

Are you sure you weren't in reverse and it was the intercooler spray :D

Dan B 17 March 2003 06:11 PM

twas all because a saxo thought it could :rolleyes:

My Sti5 often does the same with hard acceleration. I've always assumed that it is just caused by surge from this.

LMFAO :D

It would be good to have a rear wash/wipe.

Why don't they put them on UK cars, essential in this country.

:confused:

This is really weird. It is working exactly like an intercooler spray on "Auto" should :D I might reroute the pipes :D

Nah, who needs wash/wipe anyway, weight reduction is the way :)

use your side mirrors to see the cars you've just left behind :D

Weight reduction.... :D pah! try getting an ally bonnet mate :)

Dan B 24 March 2003 12:56 PM

Right, this is now fixed.

TSL knew what was happening :D

The inertia of the water in the reservoir forces the water throught the pipe under hard acceleration. All it needed was a £2 value (the none ball bearing one) fitting. Problem solved :D
