Leaking washer fluid

[rollerdan]

Filled up my windscreen washer bottle to the brim and basically i got out my car a noticed a very large puddle of washer fluid on the floor on the passenger side just under the bumper i belive the xenon washer is at fault . Could it be a broken pipe? Or somthing .

 

[stephen chadwick]

its most probably the bumper jet itself bud mine was doing exactly the same. got the cup blanks to replace as i was fed up of going to clean my screen and having no juice

mines like this at the moment, leaks from the tank itself though

 

[rollerdan]

Okay dude im thinking about the blanks too. So what do you do with pipe ? Just blank it off?

 

[stephen chadwick]

i used a peice of the old pipe to connect the 2 washers together were they meet in the wheel arch. then if your woried they might pop off put a cable tie around each one.

if you've got Xenons, you need the washers... I think.

Isn't it a legal requirement, along with the auto-leveing or something?

I had the same problem when I had the bumper off for some work too, the garage had it back for an hour and it's been fine ever since. This was a couple of years ago.
