Salutations one and all ...
I am working on getting 4 Rabbit Diesels back to road worthy condition. The
washer reservoirs tend to crack with age ... I have one that is good ... but
the pump is bad ... I have good pumps but the method that they are held onto
the washer reservoir is by a "washer" on the inside that is a PITA to remove
to change the pump (without cracking an already aged reservoir). Anyone have
any luck at it? ... if so share the wisdom please.
OR ...
Anybody know a source for NEW windshield washer reservoirs? ... Need up to 4
of 'em ... I suppose a junkyard source would be acceptable if I knew that
it's condition was worth buying. Any known to be eminently reliable
junkyards out there? There are plenty of hits with the parts
selectors/searchers that are on the web ... but it is a buyer beware
environment ... Any solid recommendations? They tend to fatigue/crack with
age and I prefer to get ones that I would not have to replace any time soon.
They are for 80 to 84 Rabbit diesels with the washer pump external to the
reservoir.
I have been following the list for several months now ... there are good
knowledgeable comments and tinkerers observations a'plenty. You know who you
are ... it sure is a far piece man has come ... to be able to share
experiences with each other from far corners of the world. Just a few years
ago there was no convenient way to "pick the mind" of many people with the
same interests if they didn't live in your immediate geographical
neighborhood.
I best sign off lest I digress ... oops ... a bit to late I see ... caught
myself earlier than usual though ...
