Windshield Washer Resevoir/motor Removal - Honda Prelude Forum

SLICK96 · 02-18-2002, 07:34 PM

Can anybody who's done this before tell me how to do it?: Jose (PreludeNYC) instructed me how to take out the windshield washer resevoir, but I was only able to take off the top part of the resevoir tube, which bolts to the front left fender. I want to take out the rest of the resevoir, and any motors involved in operating the windshild squirters, since I can't use them w/ my current c/f hood setup. Any help would be much appreciated.

No, but if they're working are you willing to sell?

Actually, I just want the hoses and the nozzles.

I got dibs on the motor or pump whatever that thing is down there.

you jack up your car, pull off the stoneguard, and look up behind the bumper. Its basically just like taking the resonator out on the opposite side.

yup and the reservoir slides up and out, the hoses just pop off and the squirters have a small nut holding them in...wait I may be wrong about the squirters you may have to turn them counter clockwise and pop them out

Wow! Cool ... thanks, guys! I'll do this when I change my oil in about 1500 more miles. Thanks again for the help!!!

I don't know if I'll get rid of this stuff or not ... never know if I'll need it. I know that I have the c/f hood, but who knows about the future. If I decide to trash it, I'll contact you about sending you the parts. I'm still trying to get ahold of Exodus FX to give him my stock separate speakers. I need to get rid of them, and I'd rather give them to a needy PO homey than just throw them away.

peace,

He needs the stock separates? He should have asked me. I have them lying around somewhere, and I'm closer to him

SLICK96 · 02-19-2002, 12:14 PM

Well, if you know if he, or anybody else needs them, I'm about to toss them.... so spread the word. I just lost touch w/ him. Take care!!

I haven't had working windshield washers in over two years

It'd be nice to have working ones. Yeah, it's cheap, and I can just get aquarium hoses, but then I'd have to cut them to length, get the right diameter, and basically I'm a lazy f*ck.

Why not??

SLICK96 · 02-19-2002, 12:55 PM

I don't want to drill the holes in the hood, and I really don't need them. Everytime I gas up, I wash my windsheild anyway ... same goes for whenever I wash my car (once a week). The two events overlap nicely enough so that I don't need the equipment anymore. My resevoir also has a leak in it, so it's now worthless.

hey slick if you still wanna have functional squirters but don't wanna drill holes in your hood you can go to a junkyard and take the squirters off of a oldsmobil or pontiac. They clip on you wipers and all you gotta do is buy some tubing to run to your wiper arms..taaadaaa functional squirters with no holes

That's what I was thinking. Most Peugeot cars have wiper mounted jets and I reckon that they're better anyway. They give a more effective wash.

SLICK96 · 02-19-2002, 04:00 PM

Hmmmm ... something to think about. Thanks!

What speakers would you be referring to? If he doesn't want them I might be interested. And also anyone who thinks they can help, my windshield squireters don't squirt, so i thought the line could be blocked so I took off the tubs off the squirters but still nothing, what could be wrong?

can you hear a motor come on when you engage the sqirt?
