A windscreen washer pump works greeeaaaaattt to pump oil.... :o)
Sucking doesn't work with engine oil - its too thick... though it may
work with a thicker tube...
Obviously electric - not the Mk3's cute little hand pump....
Just do it in bursts of a couple of seconds so it doesnt get too hot and
kill itself.... ask me how I know :o)
