The Chubby Ninja Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hi folks. I had to disconeect and remove the passenger side washer bottle behind the front bumper to get my intercooler pipe in and now theres no room for it to go back on. If i just blank off the pipes leading to the other bottle will everything still work? There is a pump on the removed washer bottle but i think theres a pump behind the drivers side bottle aswell. Any help/ideas welcome so that i can get the front bumper back on. Thanks. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Is it not for the passenger headlamp washer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Im not really sure. Im going to have a proper look tonight to see exactly what each pipe does. Just wondered if anyone had encountered the problem before. The vortechs designed for the US cars. I believe the USDM and JDM models dont have the second washer bottle. Do they have headlight washers still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I don't think they did, especially as so many of them didn't have xenons, so that would explain the single bottle. Can't you relocate the bottle over a bit with a longer hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 I couldake up a bracket to move it over but im not sure if the bumper will go back on as theres limited room. I will find out 2nyt though. Wish i could just do away with the headlight washers as i despise them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Steve, With most of these FI upgrades the L/H bottle for the headlamp washer has to be removed. Just blank off the pipes and all will be well until MOT time. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MOT should be ok as ive got a friendly tester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yes, the front and rear screen washer will work fine as the L/H bottle is fed from the R/H bottle. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs2000 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Since you're in there, and have removed the bottle (and bumper), why not remove the washer jets on the front and get the bumper smoothed? Then you have no issues at all MOT time An item can only be tested if it is fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 ive been warned that under no circumstances, must anymore money be spent on the zed til after the wedding! im allowed mapping but after that im laying low on the modifications til next year. I might get them smoothed or I might just get a different bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
