It's a common problem Vince, cheap screen wash and using washing up liquid are the culprits, I know some manufacturers won't entertain anyone coming in to the workshop with blocked washers under warranty if they find either jelly or mould growth in the bottle. As for cleaning the tank to get rid of any residual growth you need to add a little bleach or a baby bottle sterilizing tablet to it along with a handful of small nuts or ball bearings and give it a good shake for a few minutes to get into all the corners, the bleach or sterilized will kill any thing you can't get out.

Very common issue caused mainly by using the incorrect dilution ratio of screenwash to water. With the correct dilution ratio mold will not be able to grow in the reservoir. Using hard water from the tap also does not help. Would not be surprised if some mold has gotten past the gauze filter and is in the lines or partially blocking the jets. I find removing the lines from the jets and operating the washers for a while to flush the lines clean. Using compressed air whilst the lines are disconnected from the jets to blow out any mold trapped in them The low mileage also plays as part as nothing lasts forever so over time the solvents in the window screen washer fluid break down and cause that sludge at the bottom of the reservoir blocking the pump. I fill the reservoir with hot water & bleach then throw in a few handful's of 10mm nuts. Then block the holes off and shake vigorously until you are fed up :) The 10mm nuts act as an abrasive helping to remove the mold. The longer you can leave the bleach and water mix in there the better. We also used sand as an abrasive but you must get all of it out of the reservoir otherwise this will damage the pump and block the washer jets hence why we prefer the 10mm nuts. We mainly just replaced the reservoir as the customers did not want to wait or pay for the labour to clean the old reservoir. Your mystery part look like it was left in the plenum chamber by the person that was there before you as that nut retaining the window screen wiper motor & linkage would have not been missing from the factory so someone has had the window screen wiper motor & linkage out before maybe to do the exact same job you did.

It's happened on a couple of cars I've had in the end I cut the rubber gauze off the bung. Just to let you know not all cars have the guaze due to this problem. For example I use to make the nissan juke washer bottles and they just have a bung with no guaze. It's just screen wash building up on the gauze, without the gauze it doesn't have the opportunity to build up. It's probably caused by bad mixture of screen wash and the solution over time separates from the water making sludge. My opinion is run without it and run the bottle empty that way your always adding fresh clean screenwash to the system so it has no chance to form the sludge.

Common issue cleaning overflow tanks for coolant, washer bottles, small fuel tanks. Put rocks, metal nuts, washers, any small objects, fill with water and agitate. Done it many times. That gunk was probably a chemical reaction, a byproduct of mixing different wash solutions. Borax for example with cross link many substances and cause slime. Best thing for a washer bottle is pure ammonia and water ie Windex. They add ethylene glycol to many so they won't freeze. It can gell when mixed with some chemicals.

There is alcohol in the washer fluid It evaporates and people neglect topping off the fluid until it runs out. If you cannot remember when you last put fluid in disconnecting the sprayer hose(tube, pipe)and pressing the washer button to empty the tank then refilling with fresh fluid, change it once a year this way, or as I do... use the system every time you get in the car. Putting a heavy concentration of bleach water in the tank overnight(run it through all the lines they will have goo in them as well) then disconnect the hoses the next day, run the system to empty the bleach water from the tank then purge the system with some fresh water, refill the reservoir fresh fluid It will be clean as if new. You could have emptied the tank put hot bleach water in it over night It would have destroyed all the bacteria over night and been good as new. But where is the exciting content or show in that?
