Req: fix for BMW windscreen cleaner

kenco · 2007-09-19 12:43:03

Many thanks for previous help on this forum! Latest problem is with the screen wash (was always a bit on the 'soft' side). Now not working at all. I have cleaned the nozzle, checked the cables (under bonnet, etc) and nothing. There is a whirring noise when I press the button which suggests the motor is OK. Any ideas?

Have you checked the hose coming from the tank to the nozzles, it splits from one to two somewhere and I believe that the junction can also become blocked.

Another possible cause could be a pinched hose.

did you let the tank run empty?
If so its just an airlock, the same just happened mine.
Pull the hose from the T before both nossles and let the water run through until airlock is gone.
