I've just had to remove and clean out, due to the dreaded slime, both water bottles and interconnecting pipes. Quite a labourias job without an air hose.
To make things worse the interconnecting pipe between the resevoirs is small bore and gunges up readily. One quick visual check is that if the levels of the reservoirs differ the pipe that connects them is blocked. I think the extra reservoir was added to cars with Xenon lights only to cater for the headlight washers.
Anyway, question is, does anyone use a windscreen additive that doesn't succumb to the water in the reservoir turning into pond water within a year?
