350Z screen wash taking ages to fill


polaris

Recommended Posts

Hi, the black screen wash funnel fills up quickly and then slowly drops down (takes like 3 hours to fully empty) which I'm assuming is the fluid moving into the reservoir. Is it normal to take this long? As I understand, there's 2 5L reservoirs on each side so I would've thought it would be very quick to pour in and fill up.

Hi mate, 2007 350Z GT in Ebisu Black. I just brought it last Friday. Apologies, I wasn't aware of any events going on. You got a link for more information?

I've owned my 370Z for over a year now and it's now dawning on me that there's a separate reservoir for the rear screen! I wondered why the front is full and squirting freely and rear one is doing nothing!  

 

I really should read the handbook....

Are you 100% sure on that? I've owned my Nismo for two years now and have never once noticed another reservoir? And I've never had any issues with just topping up and the rear working? 

 

Genuinely intrigued

What was I talking about?! There is no rear washer reservoir (having checked the handbook yesterday eve)...!!

 

Sorry guys, I wasn't pushing the wiper stalk forward to get the rear squirter working, just turning the end of the stalk like how it operates on my other cars!  

 

Double DOH!  I'll get me coat.... 😬

Phew! Thought I was losing my mind. Been over every inch of the car and never found one.

Should have gone for the easy fix like I did and do the rear wiper delete. Lol..

I did consider that mod last year as that wiper is a big old thing and certainly looks better without it.

 

However, it's just too useful in our climate I think.

Don't worry about it, I was at JAE the one year and woke up in the Sunny trying to demist the rear window while pressing the rear fog light switch 🤣
