many thanks for all your help i knew i would get the answer i needed. however being an impatient man i went down the longest route of removing fos wheel and inner cover, must admit i was expecting to see a large tank with easy access to pumps hahahahaha silly me should have known it wasn't that easy. only 1 bolt securing a huge slim line tank that wedges itself between the wing and the chassis, as i was already there i thought i might as'well remove the tank and clean that out also. i can only describe my findings as looking like the unkempt detergent draw of on old washing machine, full of old slimy soap etc. Cleaning the filters was easy, cleaning the inside of the tank was not, i bunged up the pump holes and then standing the tank upright refilled with very hot water with a t spoon of caustic soda just to get things going, left this for 10 minutes and then drained . Hey presto i had a tank that looked like it had come straight from the factory. cleaning the filters i used a hot tap and old toothbrush. after rebuilding and refitting the tank pumps etc i checked all was good and she was squirting like a gud un before replacing inner wing and wheel. "note" be carefull when reinserting tank into its space that you don't catch the side repeater wires as i did. kind regards Lofty

320d coupe e92 2008 Hello all Does anyone know the best way to get to the screen wash pump on my 320d coupe ? My jets just spit a pityfull amount of very smelly water out. I suspect blocked filters but don't know how to get to the business end of the wash tank. All help gratefully recieved Regards. Lofty

Thanks again Dabsy Thanks for the advice ill do as you say get a higher spec battery next week ill let you know the outcome . happy new year to you regards lofty

Thanks Dabsy Thanks for the advice but all seems well in battery compartment, no damp or loose connections as soon as i get a chance ill buy a new battery from discount shop and see if that makes a difference. At least it will rule battery out, does anyone know if i have to tell its brain its had a new battery and if so how ?. "Condition based service" bah humbug. regards lofty

hello all lofty here Does anyone know why my e92 320d coupe keeps flagging up that it needs a new battery, i have had the battery tested and there's nothing wrong with it, yet it keeps dumping my clock settings every day. its been doing this now for over a year. I am reluctant to take it to main dealer as they want silly money and as i say the battery is as good now as it was when i bought the car 3 years ago it starts first time every time even when its freezing cold as it is today. If i change the battery myself do i have to tell the ecu its had a new battery if so how do i do that ?. I would be grateful for any advice kind regards Lofty
