How can you try not to use them. Do you turn your headlights off before you spray your front windows. I know a lot of people disconnect them.

well i might leave mine for a couple of days see what happens but its been leaking non stop since 7pm yesturday evening. If push comes to shove and they still leaking can they be disconnected easily without damaging anything?

Disconnected in what way just superglue to ball back in or diconnect them (pinchthe pipe or get new units is the easy option.

There a common fault the washers some people tend to disconnect them i prefer to have them working i dont know how mine sopped leaking probably something stuck in the tubing leading to the washer it might?

They are pretty easy to fix, but having said that mines been into the Renault garage six times since christmas to have the headlight washers fixed under warranty. And one is still leaking a bit. Renault don't like to replace them under warranty unless they are pis*ing. So I'd give them a week / ten days to 'develop' and take them to a decent Renault garage.
If there is such a thing!

short blasts rather than a constant stream..
the headlight washer only jet after about 3 seconds

Does any know the price on the part from Renault? I mean the sprayer housing.

I had mine disconnected - plug disconnected from pump and hoses cut (and folded over and cable tied), near the bottle.

They're a waste of time imo - they don't actually clean your headlights. I spent loads one winter on windscreen washer fluid, what with the short days, mainly driving in the dark and all the salt on the roads.......and the constant leaking (it looked like it was crying all the time, lol.)

bit of a thread revival

something like £7 from renault
mine ended up leaking again so i followed a thread on here and basically pulled the fuse and disconnected the pipes inside the arch liner...
