I think they are non-return valves - so its best to get the right ones from the stealers. They ar ekept in stock at my local one and were only about a quid....

I know this is a different diagram but i always thought the non return valves were no 15 on this diagram.......

Image


i cant understand why its not on the original diagram as ive never been under the bonnet of an e30 without these valves fitted to the washers, usually hanging under the bonnet where they've been removed for cleaning purposes before.....

HTH

BTW if you need the t shape bits m8 let me know ill post you a couple, i must have loads of these lying around!!
