    All parts needed to restore windshield washer?

    Previous owner (or the owner before that) decided they didn't want their windshield washer. Well, I want one. So obviously barring the obvious like the reservoir and pump itself, what parts do I need to add it back? I'm worried I'll miss filters, grommets, and other random parts. Nozzles on the hood are still intact but I'm not sure about the hose.

    Hose should be clear to see. I'm runs within the hood, down passenger side and comes out above pass headlight, the into the pump and resivoir.

    Pump. Resivor. Hose. Maybe add in fitting so you can remove hood more easily.

      Awesome, thanks. Only other thing I saw online was a check valve, do I need one?

        I would see a problem without it... the fluid would drain back to the lowest point and everytime you aumminsed the wiper fluid.. you wiuld wait for the fluid to prime the lines again. So do the check valve, too. But where is it? I dont remeber one at the tank.

          Check valve is also a T where the line splits for the 2 nozzles and the rear edge of the hood.

              Post up an ad for the reservoir in the parts wanted section. You should be able to get a used one for much, much less than that from someone parting out a car. Unless you're looking for an iX version, I would guess somewhere around $20 shipped.

              I just replaced the washer pump on one of mine with the Febi brand pump from FCP Euro. $10.99!

                        Don't need the check valve. Mine started leaking and I got new one, which didn't work either. Said screw it and went with a regular T. Have had that for a couple years now, no problems.
