Hi Guys,
I have had a problem with only one of the washer jets working, so today after it stopped raining I decided to have a look.
What is the T piece in the line supposed to do. Yeah I know it splits the water to both washers, but I'm sure it does more than that. Mine squrts water out of 2 holes in the T piece rather the directly to the washer jets. I'm guessing this shouldn't happen and the T piece is F***ed!
Any thoughts?? Can it be repaired or do I need a new one??
Cheers
Jack

They are one way valves available from BMW. Mine died and did the same, can't remember how much they were.
If I can't fix it I'll f**k it up so bad nobody can!!

Or about half that from BMW, IIRC.
Check with the zone's genuine parts forum.

I had this problem, replaced the pressure regulator with another with failed even more disasterously then the last with 6 months! Bloody crap they are!!! My fingers were to big to close the grips for the washer hoses back inside the bonnetand I had to leave it hanging out
