Gingerbread Man Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I've just brought a car 1999 VVC (see chit chat section). After finally having a spare light day to have a look about, I noticed that the washer bottle pump is working but there's no bottle attached to the other end! What bottle do I need bearing in mind I have the pump? I haven't noticed a mounting bracket but then again I'm not 100% where it would have been mounted. Could it have just fallen off the pump? Here is a link to a picture of what I've got. I'm guessing I'll need one of these And this bottle.

6speedmanual Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Lost your bottle! Sorry to hear that so soon after you got new car - won't be able to drive it now! Hehe! The bracket may not be required. Many cars have a bracket brazed onto the chassis frame inside the rh side of the engine bay. Good luck and enjoy!

Gingerbread Man Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 So If I buy just the bottle from Caterham, this should just attach to the pump and jobs a gooden? Or does the bottle mount to bracket/ point under the bonnet as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Paul Richards Posted November 2, 2008 Area Representative Share Posted November 2, 2008 The bottle usually fits where you have the pump. You may already have the bracket there. Pump and bottle are a matched item i.e. the pump clips to the side of the bottle and pick up goes direct into the bottle. Seehere Check to see if the pump you have will fit the bottle.

6speedmanual Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 The wedge shaped metal bracket dovetails into a similar slot on the back of the bottle. The bracket on the chassis is a commonly used mounting location. The loose bracket from CC parts allows mounting elsewhere.

JampJ Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Sounds like someone has removed it at some time and forgot to put it back. As before mentioned, the pump fits in the side of the bottle. Cheers John JFDI (Just F*****g Do It) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
