Is it possible to get headlamp washers to work in a cup bumper?

[Dansta]

would it be major hassle?

 

[Fred@BTM]

na it'd be easy peasy mate

 

[howie p]

they're more hassle than they worth, freezing, popping out, leaking etc

 

[Dansta]

thats how they work on the FF cars mate, all you need is a few "T" pieces and some washer jet hose

 

[Dash]

Is there a seperate pump in the washer bottle for the headlamp washers?

[Fletcher]

Blasphemy!

just cant find any washer hole covers and im one short. pmsl!

i beleive they work on

1) a seperate motor

2) kicks in 5 seconds after holding down the "wash" button. controlled by UCH


You could just connect a T-peice in line with existing one, but it will come on every time you wash front screen.

Yep you are correct, I have just added them to mine :approve: I did it 'T'ing off the original pipework and running in my own tubes etc. You don't get the headlights washed everytime you wash the screen if you don't hold the stalk in long enough The 5 second delay as fitted to 'Sports' is UCH controlled as Has says, and I agree that they're probably fed from a second pump. You can of course add this delay if you so wish by tubing the headlight jets to a new washer bottle and pump. Then just take a feed from the existing pump to a time-out unit which then in turn operates your new pump Job sorted!

 

[lawrence]

what you need dan the blanking plugs on the front bumper?

Poor design those headlamp washer jets my left one crys probably a sales gimmick rather than a proper functional piece of kit. I'm thinking of removing them and blanking the holes off.

this would make them illegal mate, as factory fitted units must have the washers :dapprove:
