If your talking about the windscreen washers, then its pressure. Just in front of your feet, remove the cap, underneath this there is a container to
hold the water, has a cap to top up the water and to the side of this a tube with a tire valve on the end. Pump this up to 30 - 35 psi (from memory).
However, usually the valve in the switch fails from old age and they leak.
I converted mine to an electric motor setup many years ago. |

Convert it to an electric motor pump much better and they work every time not just when the bottle has air pressure in it.

I need to do this as well.
I havent looked yet - but is it a big job ?
What do you have to do / buy ?
I have seen a kit it supercheap for about $35.00

as far as i can tell all u need is a waterbottle with a small electric motor to pump the water, some mounting brackets to fit it, some new hose to
plumb it to the squirters and a new switch on the dash to operate it. should be a quick and simple operation.
