Hi all

I have a broken wire right next to the connection plug for the heated washer jet loom to plug into the main washer pump ( it piggybacks into it).

It's a facelift 318is 1991

Are my options;

1; interchangeable with e36 type? as I can get access to that type of car to get a plug and join to loom.

2;would bmw be selling these connectors new?

3; is it worth soldering the wires direct into the main washer loom?

Any other ideas welcome

All three of your options are viable.

Thanks, my first option was what I would have preferred as it could still be removed if needed, soldering the replacement to existing loom.

Just wasn't sure if they used a different plug or if I would need the whole washer pump set up.

Thanks Brian
