Hi

Im on a mission to get all the small annoying things working on my car .... at the moment its head light washers !

Cheers

if you have renewed the pump pipes and valves it just leaves the nossles on the wipers.
als clan do you notice when you try the wipers it just leaves a puddle and there is avalve on then that acts as a fail safe when the jets are blocked it realeses pressure through then but then it can stay constantly open other than than get a compresser and blow through the pipes to see if it kicks any crap out

Ive taken the pipes off and tried the washers no water comes out ... I will try putting some air through the pipes and see what happens .

Where are the valves located ? Is there a separate pump for the head light washer jets or is it run off the wnd screen pump ?
