Faulty headlamp washers on 182

[WOBBLE46]

I filled up my screen wash last night and today used it twice and parked up,came out of the shop and screen wash was leaking from the inside of the bumper inline with the headlamps,i checked the screen wash and noticed it had gone down,by the time i got to the gym the screen wash was half empty and leaking more.By the time i came out of the gym the parking space was flooded and now ive got no screen wash left.Has anyone got an idea? I'm not very technical plus i'm recoverying from spinal surgery so think i'll have to take it in somewhere.

Get some non return valves from halfords andput them in the hose that goes to the washer's

How do I do that bud,cheers.

Remove the bumper and just put the valve in the hose it self or try work out which hose is what from your washer bottle to save taking the bumper off

If its the actual washer stalk leaking then you will need to replace them, they are £13 each, by the sounds of it a hose has come of somewhere as usually its a gradual leak over a few days..

Thanks for that i'll have a look tomoz,it actually emptied the bottle in less than an hour,so am thinking itll be a loose hose,well praying as im skint,but will probably still end up taking it somewhere.

Think this is quite common, the hose becomes detached, you just need to re attach it, involves taking the bumper off tho
