Fill the bottle up and with the engine turned off go lock to lock a dozen times then start the car and it should work as they are prone to air locks when tank is removed. If it dont work the first time keep trying and it will clear the lock in it.

you've got an air lock in the pump
fill the tank with fluid, cover the sides to stop it from splashing everywhere, spin the wheel full lock to full lock and hold it at the lock for a second or 2 each time
eventually the air will come out and the fluid will go down
unless you've had the inside of the tank contaminated and that crud has got into the system, then you might be fucked

Leave it in the lock position and briefly turn the wheel so it physically won't move any more and hold it there for 2 seconds, release and look at the tank with the lid off and there should be air bubbles come up in to the tank.
Do it with the engine running and you should see the air bubbles come up, repeat going from lock to lock.
Mine took quite a while to bleed but it came through eventually.
