Washer Bottle Filter

Bandit
in BMW 3 Series Forum

Featured Replies

Hi all.

My front windscreen washer jets are quite weak and someone suggested the washer bottle filter could be blocked. It appears that the front wheel arch has to come off for access. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Yes !

    Any small "kink" in the pipework would cause it too!

    ... As will a tired pump ;)

    ... Maybe blow compressed air through the pipes?

    Tip: Do it from the nozzle end or you might SMASH the screen !! :o :lol:

    had the same issue no washer jets at all, completely blocked. Removed the pipe where it connects to the washers and used a balloon pump to blow air back into the bottle and gave it a good clean out.
