E38 screen washer problem
Discussion
Hi,
I hope someone can help. E38 740i (1999). Washers used to work fine. but, that changed mid journey last week.
When I activate the screen washer, I only get a drizzle from the screen nozzles, but I get massive amounts out through the headlamp washers. As the headlamp washers only work when the headlights are on, and then only every 3rd time (I think), is there some sort of splitter / valve / widget that controls this?
What is the problem likely to be?
Any advice would be very welcome!

You will probabely need to remove the washer pump and clean the plastic filter/gauze.Its more than likely to be blocked.Bottle is in under the inner wheel arch liner o/s
If not then we do get the jets failing internally-theres a spring that slips-especially when it has frozen-the water pressure is too great if the nozzle freezes and it falls apart.
