Windscreen Washer Connections
Windscreen Washer Connections
I am trying to reconnect the washer pipes to the column wash/wiper switch for my 412 and I cannot work out which pipe goes on which spigot. They are marked 'D' and 'B' and I was expecting a simple German equivalent of 'Bottle' and 'Screen' or 'Jets' but I'm stumped. Can anyone help, please?

Thanks, David, 'Drück' is certainly a good start, to give me total confidence I'd like to know what the 'B' might be. I have the diagram but it doesn't give me any confidence about picking which spigot is which.

Re: Windscreen Washer Connections
The tube that goes to the jet comes from the right hand connection according to the diagram
My German isn't good enough to know what the B stands for

Re: Windscreen Washer Connections
On my steering column the spigots are one above the other, with 'B' below 'D'.

Re: Windscreen Washer Connections
You just made me dismantle my car.
On mine they are not side by side, or vertical, but diagonal.
So looking down the steering column:
Bottom left, feed
Top right, delivery

Re: Windscreen Washer Connections
Thanks, David, I believe we've cracked it!
In English: 'B' = Bottle, 'D' = Delivery, perhaps?
