Smelly wash-wipe :(

[Robb1990]

Ive tried taking the bottle out and getting rid of all the smeg attached to the sides, this worked and the bottle is now fresh, the motor is good and fresh too, but its still standing in the pipes i think, as when i squirt it, it smells bad! like sulfur and stagnant water. Briskoda say bleach, but this is going to stain my lovely paint! which i dont want. So, any idea what i can flush through it?

Cheers, rob

Sounds like someone pissed in your water bottle

Got nice workmates have you?

 

[Robb1990]

Nope. Run 2 lots of water through it today and had the motor out to try and clean it out.

proper smells like poo!

[Robb1990]

[Willie]

lol fair enough
You can change out the lines quite easily, there just push on's

 

[Robb1990]

WIll probably do that with the front tbh, but the back will be a bitch Ill try some miltons sterilizing fluid for baby's see if that does anything sat in the pipes.

Anyone else find the beep for the low wash/wipe level really ****ing annoying!? the light i can put up with, but "beeeeeeeeeeeeep" *unimpressed*

No because i fill it up before it gets that low

 

[Robb1990]

smart arse

 

[Willie]

its a bit OTT, but you'll never not notice it

Miltons should do the job

 

[Robb1990]

Hope so! Properly stinks, have to turn off all the vents bar the one with the air freshner on then set to 'face blast mode' and put it on volume 20bazillion

You can get fragrenced windscreen washer fluid, why not try that?
Not that expensive but gives you a nice fragrence when you wash your windows!

 

[Robb1990]

Yeah ill give it a go after ive put some miltons through it.

Maybe the last owner got fed up with the beeep so they p1ssed in the bottle to shut it up

 

[Robb1990]
