https://www.holden.co.uk/p/trico_vacuum_operated_washer_bottle_later_type They also supply this type https://www.holden.co.uk/p/trico_vacuum_operated_washer_bottle_early_type Title: Re: Trico vacuum operated washer bottle vacuum pump Post by: frankxhv773t on 21 August, 2023, 04:04:29 PM It may be more like this from a '62 Berlina, though I have a feeling some other models had a round bottle rather than one with one flat side.

Is that vacuum operated Frank??Title: Re: Trico vacuum operated washer bottle vacuum pump Post by: FERGTS246 on 22 August, 2023, 07:55:07 AM Thanks for all your comments. I don't need the whole unit (glass jar, lid, vacuum chamber), its just the brass vacuum chamber - or whatever its called.
See diagram attached. Anyone know if it's possible to open up the vacuum chamber (reservoir) without damaging it, to renew the diaphragm? Thanks Title: Re: Trico vacuum operated washer bottle vacuum pump Post by: frankxhv773t on 22 August, 2023, 09:17:47 AM Yes Tim, it is vacuum operated though seems more complicated than the new replacements, perhaps because it links into more systems. The screen wash button also activates a vacuum servo that automatically switches on the wipers.
Title: Re: Trico vacuum operated washer bottle vacuum pump Post by: FERGTS246 on 22 August, 2023, 09:27:37 AM In case anyone's interested, I've found instructions online on how to service the Trico vacuum pump (servo?) that's fitted to Touring Flaminias:

B12 sucker pump is still working..... Title: Re: Trico vacuum operated washer bottle vacuum pump Post by: FERGTS246 on 23 August, 2023, 09:13:14 AM Tim, Any tips on making it a smooth exercise beyond what's on the online instructions?
Chris Title: Re: Trico vacuum operated washer bottle vacuum pump Post by: lancialulu on 23 August, 2023, 01:06:24 PM I am sure I wrote it up in May 2019 VL with home made diaphragm (which did not last so had to do it all again with the correct rubber ).
Title: Re: Trico vacuum operated washer bottle vacuum pump Post by: frankxhv773t on 24 August, 2023, 08:36:32 AM Interestingly the Berlina seems to have been fitted with the Trico "co-ordinated washer system" as fitted to 1956-58 Cadillacs. There is a good write up on it here though Lancia have it fitted to the metal lidded glass bottle rather than a square plastic tank. http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=20011
