Headlight Washer Leaking.... Help !

[Justin182]

Not sure if in the right place.... sorry.

Just got my car back from its 24k service and noticed the passenger headlight washer is leaking. They said i would have to book it in again but TBH i really cant be bothered taking hours out of the day and sorting alternative transport.

I'm just wondering if anybody else has had a similar problem and how they fixed it.

Visually everything looks ok and the little ball is in the right place, but there is a steady trickle coming out and around the ball which will soon enough empty my bottle.

Thanks

yep, mine was leaking, I really couldn't be arsed going through the hassle of getting it sorted, it has since stopped.

Is there anything i can fiddle with behind the washer that might fix it ?

At this rate i wont have any water left by tomorrow...lol

im only just back from the garage from having that repaired. the part costs £6 (but done on warranty obv) and they had my car for 2.5 hours to fix it.

sounds like they have just replaced the unit

 

[Justin182]

^^ did they say what the prob was?

 

[Ross M]

nope just that its leaking lol.

you need to remove the front bumper to replace it though.

 

[Justin182]

ok... thanks. Will let renautl sort it then if it doesnt stop leaking in a couple days.

Mine does it all the time. If i dont spray it for a few days it stops tho i just learnt to live with it

lol mines just started this randomly after 2 years of daily use, weird.

Mine only leak when i fill the bottle up, when the level drops they stop leaking.

Justin thats probably what yours will do when the level drops.
