I had nothing to do with fitting this, honest , IÔš'd just like to make this clear to start with.

Just got a 325i se as a drift slag. (Real fun on 165 tires)
It still need an MOT (runs out in July) as is becoming my daily drive, itÔš's to cold for the motor bike. At some point in the cars life, I would assume since the last MOT itÔš's had the washer system ripped out and replaced with a petrol can. See pictures. It sort of works, badly. IÔš'm trying to retrofit the original system and was looking for help.

Any one got any sort of wiring diagram for the level sensor and pump ? Also can someone post a picture showing as much of the fittings as possible, layout, orientation and attaching points.

Are the wire extensions running back to the original wiring?
If so it will be easy to put back how it should be.

I have all the bits on a breaker to put it right if you need it!

I have yet to look properly at the new wiring. I would imagine it has been cut into the original wiring, so I would be surprised if the original connectors are there.

IÔš've just brought ( about 20 minutes ago ) the washer bottle and level sensor from jon_bmw ( Sorry I donÔš't know proper names ) so I will get back to you with exactly what else I need. But you can probably put me down for most of it

Indeed that is a royal bodge up! It depends if the wiring is there, which i assume it will be, but all you need is a pump and possible a cap(mine doesn't leak, under normal driving, i'm not sure about drifting though :D )

Hopefully it will be plug and play.
