mart360 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Well 9 months after picking up the Outback, MOT time today ... My concerns were 1) Exhaust, that much loved Y piece has a tiny puff on start up, (In honesty, it looks like a water drain hole). 2) Seat belt, Drivers belt dosent return as well as it should - A quick strip and clean of all the gunk and fluff from the guides and mech, and it was retracting ( might need a second visit at some time ) 3) Screen washers, the output has become steadily worse over the last few weeks, so today i had a quick investigate... BTW 2003 MkIV the bottle is behind the front bumper, and a pig to get to lol Anyway i had the idea of swapping the power leads, and the hoses so i could take the feed from the rear wash to the front. (with more time and access, i think this may have worked) but sadly attempt one failed ... Plan B, work from the jets back to the pump looking for a blockage, as the motor sounded healthy. Break at the first union, and it shot fluid everywhere .... working forward at every union found the culprit. - A one way valve near the jets... 6 Inches of new hose later and normal fan spray was resumed .... (btw - how do you adjust these? couldn't get them to move, or adjust the fan ) So fingers crossed i dropped it off... One hour later .......New MOT :) happy person... One advisory ...... Rear brake pads wearing low ...... Guess what i'm doing over christmas :) Mart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
