Just refitting screen washer tank after washers failed on TD5
This was due to what I can only describe as a layer of frog spawn (without the tadpoles) in the bottom of the tank.
Maybe I used a cheap or very old additive sometime.
My question is, why are the original non return valves not fitted closer to the pumps?
Surely after initial priming the whole length of tubing would remain full.
Is it to stop having a long length of tubing freezing up?
I am thinking of putting them close to the pumps, as I would personally find it easier to remove the headlight to work on them there, than up by the bulkhead and not having to remove part of the headlining for the rear wash valve.
Anyone recommend the best valves to use?
Thanks for any advice
