After 3 visits to local BMW main agent they still can't get the part with the jet right . This 53 plate has a cover over the wiper nut . The nut has a hole and a ridge for a pipe to fit over however they keep saying the cover I need has a jet on the outside of the plastic cover not a jet within the plastic cover . Mates cooper s has same nut cover with a slot in it and underneath the slot looks like a piece of short pipe with a washer jet on the end . It sprays through the slot in the cover .

The part they keep coming up with has a jet on the outside ? This does not fit the locating holes on the wiper arm but does fit over the nipple on the nut ?

Any ideas where I can get this correct pipe with jet on the end to go under the nut cover please?


Thanks

Take your one off and take it to the dealer? It should have a part number on it.

It is not clear to me which part you are after, you describe all the parts, but don't seem to be telling us which part it is you are after?

I believe the pre face-lift and face-lift arrangement - both the make of the unit and the way the washer works - is different. You could just buy a complete used one, specialist breaker or eBay maybe? This one (Valeo) on eBay has the nozzle in the spindle/shaft so takes the arm with the slot in the flip up/down cover.
