Not on my car, Shirl's oil burner has been affected by the stink of screen washer bottle, it's awful. So, please give me all your suggestions for getting rid of the smell.
Thanks Peeps.

We use Evian down South mate, usually mixed in with a bit of elder-flower to keep everything smear free and fresh smelling.
Dread to think what you've put in there!

You didn't slip something in there when you gave her that boot carpet did you?

Take the screen washer bottle out and give it a cycle in the dishwasher or if that’s too much faff try a few Milton tablets in the washer bottle.
Cheers Mark, I had that in mind. If it was my Z it would be easy but on the Eos not so much.

My Z3 was stinky when I got it, a damn good scrubbing with a bottle brush soon sorted it. Now it smells lovely, courtesy of the Asda screenwash. Other brands are available.
Thanks for that mate. Im trying to avoid emovong the bottle cos it Shirls Eos and its not eady to remove on thst.

Watch out for legionella, the under bonnet temperature could incubate such.
Get rid of all the current fluid
Then whack a Melton tablet in with some fresh water and let it sit before evacuating again .
Then obviously only use proper screen wash to minimise gunge build up
Worse case is removal and scrub but it'll probably be in the inner wing and a bugger to remove

I only ever use preparatory concentrate screen wash because I see/smell this problem often at work.
Shirl got some Milton tabs yesterday so that's the first step. Cheers Tim.
