Subject: Re: Dumb question re: windshield washer reservoir
Well I got a few responses about putting air into my washer reservoir so I went to
the corner gas station to try it again. No luck. My cap is black with a VW emblem
and the word HELPHOS. The middle portion moves in and out a bit. I assume that
once you get air pressure into the reservoir that the pressure pushes this thing out
and forms a seal. Well I can't get any air through this cap. I took the cap off
and tried it with the compressor with no luck. I can't even blow air through with
my mouth (yes I washed it first). Now I know I have a good seal when doing this so
my question is: am I missing something simple here. The PO obviously was able to
do it since the washers worked and the reservoir was pressurized when I took the cap
off.
