Hi,

Onliyvone of my washer jets are working on my e30, I have checked for any leaks in the pipe work but I cannot see anything visible, was working before but for some reason only 1 working now.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Have you checked to see if its blocked and the plastic valve at the bottom of the bonnet the tubes attach to can fail.

Both are fed from the same pipe, so the problem is unlikely to be with anything other than the jet itself.

Forgot its a non return valve, remove jet and clean it out as I think I did this for one of the kids cars.
