My washer jets aren't supplying water to my screen.

Instead the water shoots out of a plastic joint. However this joint (white and at the top of the bonet, closest to the screen) looks like it has the holes machined in??

Whats going on?

A freezing weather safeguard which is a right pain as they often fail.

Try super gluing the hole or just get a new t-piece.

These are non-return valves. They fail over time. Replace with new ones from the dealer. I've had to do 3 E30's with this problem. :?
