A new repair concept has been developed for repairing washer system hoses. Various individual hose connectors, adapters, Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene (EPDM) rubber hoses and shrink tubing will be offered as replacement parts. Smooth hoses with a diameter of 5 x 1 mm or 6 x 1 mm can be repaired with a EPDM repair hose section.
  • Trim and remove damaged sections of hose.
  • Select the corresponding EPDM hose -2- and cable ties according to the parts catalog.
  • Extend the EPDM hose -2- so that the smooth tube ends -1- and -3- can each be inserted approximately 10 mm into EPDM hose -2-.
