Washer jets getting Clogged up

Post by 964Speedster » Tue Jan 11, 2011 10:14 pm

Window washer jets working poorly, previous E53 it was the mesh on the Washer bottle getting blocked up with the Blue screenwash mix.
Any idea if the E70 is the same, and if yes where is the filter and how easy is it to find???

The headlight washers are working great even though the windscreen ones are crap.( E53 had 2 filters so im guessing E70 must be same)
Anybody Know ???

Thanks in Advance
Al

check that the nozzles at the wipers haven't popped off the supply pipe - this is common and causes the washers to squirt most of the liquid into the engine bay.
