Headlamp washer fecked...... again!

[Darren S]

I really wish Reno hadn't even bothered with them. Gave it a good wash on Saturday for Sunday's drive out - and when I pulled up at Lymm services - the same headlamp washer was pissing fluid out again.

Is it an easy job just to bung the feeder pipes up and be done with them? It really is pouring out now - much more than before it was last in at Reno for the same thing.

s**t design.

Don't know if bunging them up would work, as it sprays them seperately after the window washers. Might break something if it tries to spray but can't.

I suppose that is the big worry. I'm just really intolerant of bad design. Things breaking over time - fine, but things where there's a known problem and it can't really be fixed is just total laziness, imo.

Made worse by the fact the headlamp washer (not useful) is now draining the main tank for the windscreen washer (very useful).

The pipe branches into two just behind the bumper on the passenger side corner so if you wanted to plug it then thats the best spot really

I only spray the jets a squirt at a time that way the water is never pushed through far enough to spray the xenons it only does the windscreen
