Kuro Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Just how big are those tanks? Can't find any reference to their capacity in the manual, but they've just sucked up 5 litres, and I don't reckon they're full Halfords are doing a very nice smelling 3 for 2 offer BTW Quote
GC350z Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Check out the images for Simon's poor Z. You can see a very large bottle behind the passenger washer jet. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6352 Quote
Removed Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 10 litres in total, and there's 2 bottles, btw Quote
monkfish Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Ahh, that explains it!! When my car was in for a service a couple of weeks ago, they said that they had put 5 litres of screenwash in it even though I had put 5 litres in the day before!! Quote
stuey Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 2 bottles................ where is the second............. Quote
Removed Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 iirc they are on each side of the headlamp washers. check my front bumper thread with pics of the Z with no front bumper to double check Quote
lomoto Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 2 bottles................ where is the second............. here Quote
Removed Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I think that pic is missing the second bottle, as i assume it's a JDM without xenon washers Quote

Kuro Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 10 litres in total Really? So I may as well add the other 5L bottle then really... Surely that ones of the largest tanks(s) around..? That's quite a bit of weight as well Quote
Removed Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I'm quite sure I read the 10L capacity somewhere, and yes another 10kg weight Quote
Digsy Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I'm quite sure I read the 10L capacity somewhere, and yes another 10kg weight The weight's not so much of a problem if you have forged wheels though....... Quote
Zzzz... Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I am sure there is a legislation requiring cars fitted with gas-discharge 1. If the reservoir tank is below a certain capacity, to provide a warning light. (VW passat has a warning light...) 2. or to simply fit a windscreen/headlamp reservoir tank with a greater capacity ( i thought it was around 12 litres minimum... ) But i will check this, I am sure it is in some VCA or VOSA regulation or European directive... In the case of the ZED i think there is enough space just to fit a huge tank therefoe no need to more lights in the speedometer... Quote

Zzzz... Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 don't worry there is a whole team of important peoplein a dark office in the dungeons of the EU headquarters, already designing all the stickers to go in the car to explain all the requirements... Quote
Kennydies Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I really dont want a warning light for every bleeding thing. Is more to go wrong, the sensors cost a fortune and it only takes a couple of minutes to check your fluid level when you wash your car. Quote
GC350z Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 If you want warning lights buy a super car. The veron has more lights than a Christmas tree. Quote
Mathys Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I thought I had a leak or something as I once put in 9 liters or so Luckily I found this thread now Quote
AndyC Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 There is already a warning in place - when it don't work no more fill it up. Nice & easy Quote
Zzzz... Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 That uses a thing common sense... I think you'll find legal organisations don't like to let you to use common sense, as it reduces their roles...don't think... it scares themmm... Quote
