I am going to retrofit the heating element for the windscreen reservoir into my one on my W208 320, but Does anyone know where I get the water feed for the element ?
Hi,
The hot water feed comes from the heater recirc pump that's fitted on the inner wing just below the header tank. For cars with this option they fit a different pump with an additional outlet on the pump. The other side of the pump goes into the coolant system on the rear of the engine. This is something I have been meaning to fit to my AMG, I have got a new washer bottle with the element and modified cap, but finding the right pump has been the stopper for me though I do want to fit the system for me its not worth the price of a brand new pump, unless I find one from a breaker.

here's an option I've considered in the past but never got round to trying (a bit pricey) so can't say how good or bad it is. Would be transferrable between cars though.
