Hi everyone. I'm new here. I have a issue with my washers on my 2005 e60 530d. When I use my washers when I first set of in the morning to go to work they work fine, by the time I get to work which is a 20min drive the washers no longer work. I have found if I turn the car off and back on then the washers work again. I have been searching the internet for answers but I can't find anything. Please can anyone here help me. Many thanks

Welcome to the Forum

First why do you need to use the washers before you set off ? If it just to clear condensation the wipers will cope, or are you are clearing light frost as you drive the washer nozzles could be icing.

When you run the washher's can you hear the pump running? There are fine mesh filters on the pump that can become clogged with a slimy sludge when the  washers have been topped up with fluid that doesn't have an anti bac content so check the filters

      Drive shaft making a weird sound

      Morning Paul A wheel bearing normally protests under load when driving (groaning rumbling worse when cornering) CV Joint clicking sound, have you checked the condition of the CV Boots ? As an X5 pilot what condition are the tyres ? Have any or all been changed recently ? If the tyres (even 1) are out of spec Transfer case damage or diff damage can be caused (gives similar symptoms to those you seem to have Dave

      Steering wheel replacement

      Morning Connah Welcome to the Forum Not sure what you are trying to achieve here ? If your OEM steering wheel has paddle shifts it should be fairly straight forward swap even though the replacement will probably be Aftermarket. Just make sure you can get support from the seller and they accept returns if it didn't fit If you don't have paddle shifts there is the small issue of how you can get the shift to work, it will involve loom extensions and programming at least. If you just want the competition look and are not worried about the operation then it becomes easier Good Luck Dave
