subiemech85 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I would like some info on the strange little novelty, since I know of only the xt6 having them in the US, I want! do they have a separate reservoir or pump for the fluid? how are they plumbed?? and most important: how well do they work to blast off mud and ice??? got pics?

WagonsOnly Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 US models do NOT have a separate reservoir for the fluid. They run off the same bottle the windshield washer does. They work very well for road salt, totally ineffective for mud. OK on dust/grime but not great. Subaru should have installed wipers, like Mercedes, Saab and Volvo. Washers were available on EA82 wagons and sedans in export markets; most upmarket models in New Zealand and Australia have washers. If they were available on EA81s I've never seen one. Not sure about Legacies. And finally they were available not only on the XT6 but also on the 1987.5 XT GL-10. (They may have been offered in previous years but I'm not sure. I'm going by my own experience here--I have an XT GL-10 with washers--but I wouldn't say whether they were offered before that without proof because of the different front end and bumper in 1985-87.0.) Hope this helps. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
