Front washer pipe locations

[J273]

One of my washers is leaking...I dont think its the washer itself....Its the piping as it leaks from the bottom splitter under the right fog.


where do the pipes run?...do they run along the bottom of the bumper...and is it possible to take the bottom grill out and access them that way?


Thanks

Pipes run along the middle of the bumper at the level of the washer. Bumper off to get to them.

replacement washer jet

Usually as said its a replacement washer needed, they're only £7 and you don't need to take the bumper off to change them as people say you can get to them if you remove the arch liner.

They've got a small valve in them and the screenwash/water rots the spring and eventually it breaks and they leak.

is the valve inside the jet or the pipe?, il buy a new jet then!, so u remove the wheel arch liner and is there a nut on the back or something!?

 

[MT AUDIO]

its in the jet,nut should be on back of washer jet on the inside of the bumper

 

[D1CKY]

what size is the nut holding washer jet on ?

And is there space with wheel arch trim off to work a spanner ?

Or is it a socket job ?

 

[Dean]

just been and bought a drivers side jet earlier its on order and should get it soon!

cost me 11 quid all in all.
