OK, my understanding is that the washer system uses air from the tires to shoot the water solution onto the windshield. AA sells an electric replacement for $200 some odd.
Has anyone used a straight aftermarket system vice the AA system? Does anyone see an issue with say pulling a system off of another car and wiring it in to a 914? Looking for options. I am sure the AA system is top notch but i'm a a cheap Chinaman and just need it to function for the next couple of years until I can get it back to the states and REALLY work on it. |

Just replace air system with a cheap universal washer pump or spend 40 bucks on a Bosch one.
Heres how to do it, works great! http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=13261 |
