Washer jets

[alex51clio]

My washer jets work some times and then dont other times, anyone know the problem?

 

[biojo]

they`y only work when head lights are on , then i think its every third pull when u wash windscreen

 

[bradshaw1759]

what do you mean they dont work. no water ? no noise and no water more info needed really mate

 

[alex51clio]

has water in full to brim, sometimes noise from motor but other times not, loose wires maybe ?

Dodgy motor? Was it lacking in pressure?
Is this true, if the lights are on its every third wash? I have never noticed...?

 

[alex51clio]

the jets are fine when they are working and the pressure is great, then they just stop working :/

 

[Dan1587]

Dry connection, poor connection to the fuse, bad switch? Does the switch feel as it has the right resistance?

While were on the subject... What would be needed to fit fully working washer jets to models without them, I've got hold of a 1*2 bumper that has the jets and pipes... Would it be easy to do or not worth it? Just a thought

Most people dissconnect the xenon washers because they leak and leave a water mark trail all down the side of the car or just leak on there own emptying your water tank!

Id leave them dissconnected mate, if you have xenons just give them a wipe over if they get really dirty, if you have normal lights you wouldnt need or want em

I believe it's just a different pump mate, and a different washer bottle, which I can't find second hand anywhere.
But like Guysy says, leave them there, but don't connect them, they don't really do much! And they make a mess...!

Fair do's... I wasn't sure whether I'd get slated for it or not

Mines leaking and bought a one way valve from halfrauds. Not sure where I should be fitting it though? Anybody know where too fit it? Around the wheel arch iirc?
