Washer Non return valve

[Cypriotgeeza]

Good evening guys and gals

Ok I'm after a Non return valve for the washers but there is no stock anywhere in the world from BMW

So I have been speaking to another zoner about solutions to this issue as the Ebay non return valve he bought does not have enough pressure to open the valve..

So my question is has anyone fitted a non return valve that actually works?

I was considering getting this one from the mini as technically its as close to OEM that im going to get but thought I'd ask here first.

also, have a look at a few kit car places, firms like car builder solutions may be able to help.

Good idea mate I completely forgot about them, I've actually used them quite a bit when doing my conversion!

just looked at car builder solutions & they have a straight non return valve which you could put inline before the T piece.

This may work with a regular T piece.

Cheers mate

why didnt I think of that...

There's plenty on ebay aswell and cheap enough to not worry if it doesn't work lol

Anyone know what mm the original washer pipes are?

Ones that say "suitable for 6mm internal diameter tube" or alike seem to work well"
Fitting them ain't the issue really, a little electrical tape to make them fatter works well, no leaks, the fucking issue I've had is the valve not opening and its driving me nuts!!!!
