Re: Removing windshield washer tank
Hi EliC,
If I don't mind, you need to remove the front right light in order to access to the tank which is located inside the fender liner.
After removing the cork, you can extract the tank out through the light hole.
Hope that's clear enough. Don't hesitate to post additional pictures should you have any remaining difficulties.
You were talking about puting an electric pump, but shouldn't you already have one on your '73 204?

Re: Removing windshield washer tank
I don't think I do... I would disconnect the washer tank and figure out.
Anyhow, I don't have any switch for the washers... I hope the new tank would fit in that slot.

Re: Removing windshield washer tank
If the tank is located where I said, you should easily put an electric pump (located at the front of the fender, engine side).
If you don't have any switch, that would mean you have a manual pump, which did exist, but not in '73 anymore as far as I remember.

Re: Removing windshield washer tank
I dont have an electric pump, for sure. The tank is sealed perfectly. But i can plug a pump from the outside of the tank. The cap contain a hose that goes all the way to the bottom of the tank... I just need to clean the tank a little bit, and install new nozzles (I dont know where the original one located but I couldnt find any.)
And thr car is 1973, but manufactured in 1972 (in Israel it takes time until a car is imported)
