Washer Fluid

Hey all, I've had a look around the forum but couldn't see an answer.

Bascially, my washer fluid stinks :smt078 which makes me not want to use it.

Around a month or two ago, the fluid was coming out fairly thick and gunky, and now it smells. Is there a way to drain it properly to wash it out? Or shall I wear a gas mask and just turn the washers on till its empty and then fill it up with water and repeat till its clean? :cool:
 
Funnily enough there was an article in the Sun today about washer reservoirs being a breeding ground for Legionnaires'.

I'd try to use a decent quality screen wash from concentrate, maybe in higher ratio.
 
it's a fairly common problem on any car this, just did an E320 merc on saturday actually.

removal of washer bottle, fill with water and some domestos for a few hours will sort it, you'll need to bung the hole for the washer pump with something
