DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Description
A chassis mounted washer reservoir (4), with low
screen wash sensor (19) and extended filler cap tube
(5), is fitted and supplies both front and rear washers
using integral pump motors (6) and (9). When
headlamp wash/wipe is installed a separate pump
(16) is used in the system, including a non return
valve (17) for each side.
Two bonnet mounted windscreen washer jets (8),
using a single non return valve (7) are linked to the
system by rubber tubing and plastic connectors.
Reinforced plastic tubing, supplying the front and rear
screen washers, is taped in with the electrical harness
routed along the inside wings of the engine
compartment to facilitate production. A similar
arrangement is used to route the rear washer tubing
from the vehicle ’A’ post to the non return valve (10).
The windscreen wiper motor (2) is located in the
plenum chamber on the driver’s side and uses a
conventional linkage arrangement to operate the
wiper arms and blades (3). The rear wiper motor (11)
is secured to the screen frame and drives a single
wiper arm/blade (12) that parks horizontally behind a
finisher panel, which also hides the washer jet (13).
When fitted, the headlamp wiper motor (14) is
installed in the lower rear of the headlamp unit and
drives a wiper arm/blade assembly, which includes
twin washer jets (18), see 84M7013.
