ok, get your giggling over with...

Took my new 80/81 for a nice 500km weekend with my girlfirend. First time I stopped (2 hrs of driving and a new cramp in my knee), there was coolant steam coming from hood. Girlfriend looking on ankiously, already two hours late, I bought a jug of premix, then (insert smiles) promptly aded some to my windshield washer container...

(my '74 had the fancy "bag" over on the passenger side, so I added fluid to what I thought was the overflow container.... which, on my 80/81 turns out to be my winshield washer resevoir!!)

ok, finish your giggles....

Quick way to purge this fine mess, or... remove resevoir?

[kilrwail]

No giggling here...yet I would remove the bag and dispose of the mix.

...but your windshield wont overheat now.
Do you still have a girlfriend? She might be rethinking that now.

LOL. Advice above it the only way to go.

well, you certainly don't wanna activate that pump and squirt antifreeze on the windshield, so i would not only dump the bag, but also flush it thoroughly.

girls can be sooo distracting!

So, 80/81 has a hard plastic container for the washer reservoir? Sounds like it fixed the overheating problem.

[Kingme2]

correct, no bag, has a hard plastic resevoir right beside the rad (wilst the rad overlow is NOT right beside the rad... crazy Itialians )

Hey, no worries about squirting antifreeze on windshield, haven't figured out how to turn it on yet!! Lol, note, check Ebay for owners manual and/or Haynes...
