broken front windscreen wiper tube - replacement?

Post by eppiblue » Wed Jan 05, 2011 1:12 pm

-15 in Italy managed to snap my wiper fluid tubing when I lifted the bonnet, do I need to order anything specific for replacing? I had a few searches on the forum but couldnt find anything...

I would think most (if not all) washer tubing is the same. Any local garage should be able to help 8)

you can buy replacement tubing from B&Q by the metre, but the simplest thing is to by a pack of tube connectors ( also B&Q) . you need 3mm size. Cut out the damaged part and slip in a male/male connector.
job done.
Worked a treat for me.
