Hiya guys,
My headlight washers actually work, the only problem i got now is that
only one of them sprays water. This morning i took out the headlghts to
have a look and there is this little white valve type thing that seems to be blocked.
I took the valve off and water is pumping thru' the water pipes fine and dandy, reconnect the valve to the pipe and water just shoots out of a tiny
hole in the side.
If this is whats causing the problem , do i need a new one, whats it called
and how much are they ???
Am i making any sense :mad:

sounds like you need a new non return valve dude, pennies from the stealers.

Still want your seats BTW :twisted:

Hi Lee,

As Ant said, looks like a dodgy valve. The ones for the main screen wash fail in a similar way with water shooting out of the small hole.

61 66 1 380 464 - approx Ԛ£4 from the local $tealer.

Cheers,

Ian.
