Must be an easy question; Washer fluid bottles… which one?

Hi guys,

Ive got an Australian Delivered EVO IX.

It does not have a rear windscreen wiper. (I've noticed in Aust, Sedans don't tend to be equipped with one. However, Hatchbacks and SUVs do)

Anyhow,
even though there is only the front windscreen wipers (you guys like to call it "Windshield" so pardon me for my Aus terminology). Theres still, Two wiper bottles…

one at the front in the engine bay, sitting near the air intake box & the other one in the boot (you guys call it the "Trunk"… ) opposite side of the AYC reservoir behind the wall, trim panel.


Question; Which one supplies the water spray for intercooler?

Thanks guy

The rear container is for the window sprayer, the one by the air cleaner is for the intercooler sprayer

In that case, the intercooler water spray reservoir tank.

Theres some sort of internal overflow?

You start filling it up and overflows all over the garage floor.

Also, anyone know how often the watersprayer kicks in?

thanks

I wouldn't bother filling it. You want to run cooler, tune it for e85

BUT, Not many E85 service stations in Sydney Australia.

so thats probably one thing that i wouldn't bother with.
