If our balls are missing is it a fail?

[gtruk]

On the clios with xenons, if the washer balls are missing from the washer jets of the headlights is this a fail? I have one ball missing, and both dont squirt water any more, so they are either clogged, or not connected.

I have an MOT coming up and this is the only potential fail i can find.

If anyone has a spare ball, part # id be thankfulllllllllllllll:star:

I dont know the part number but it is only a 15 minute job to replace them yourself and I dont think it cost more than a tenner for the part.

How do they work? I haven't really been in my 172 to find how the washer jets for the xenons actually function...

The washer jets work automatically when you wash the windscreen with your headlights on.

something like that is not an mot failure as not all cars have this on them

I thought i read on "here" that it was an MOT fail for xenons not to have washers. Glad thats cleared up now. Thankyou guys.

 

[Russy B]

xenons are only an option, if that was the case, all headlights would have washers

 

[gtruk]

maybe its a fail to have washers that DONT work?

I think you will find it depends how anal the guy doing your MOT is, offically by the book if you have them as standard and they are still fitted they probably should work but as per my car, only one of mine works properly as its passed fine twice. Just put your car through and see what happens, you have time afterwards to get a free re-test and fix it if needed anyway!

no head lamp washers are not part of the test so if they are fitted and dont work then it will still pass.
