Leaking Headlight Washer Jet - 172

[electricfurnace]

Any easy fixes for stopping a headlight washer jet leaking?

Don't really want to f*ck around with taking the bumper off, even though most say it's an easy job.

One headlight washer jet is dribbling water all of a sudden.

Any way of blocking it off or replacing without bumper removal?

Think the only way is to replace it. Mines does it too, but I haven't got round to sorting it. I just spray my windows when the lights are off lol

they cost 13.50 each from renault.

Different part numbers for each side aswell.

Can post em if you want em

Drivers side is the one that's broken. It just a seal that needs replacing or the whole knob thing? And is there a guide as to how to replace?

The whole thing needs replacing mate. Im not sure which part number is the one for the drivers side either. I just have two part numbers lol.

To replace you have to remove the arch lining, undo the bolt behind the bumper and it comes out.

Mine's randomly started to do it too.

I think there was a similar thread the other day, and someone said if you take the arch liner out and have small hands and arms, you can disconnect the washer from the water line, undo a bolt and take it out without taking the bumper off.

lol I'm too slow.

I've not used mine for years, this seems to stop them from leaking.

Do you not use the wipers and fluid when your lights are on then?

Yes in tiny bursts

I turn my lights off, spray the window, and lights back on again lol

My car has a dealer warranty until March, so I am going to try get it done through that. Although with the reputation of aftermarket warranties, I don't fancy my chances.
