Another Christmas Query !

[ChrisM]

Having had my Mark IV DHP returned to me from the body shop after the fitting of a new nearside wing and a front bumper, courtesy of a BMW 530 emerging from a side street and hitting me, the offside headlight cleaner refuses to give forth any liquid, whilst the nearside works as usual.

I have just spent over an hour looking for details of pipework etc from the washer bottle to the nozzles but have found nothing on my 2000 version of a workshop manual I have on .PDF. In fact it does not show the cleaners as an item that fits to the front bumper. Does anyone have a diagram of how the pipework goes to the headlight cleaners?? Is there a non-return valve that may have been fitted the wrong way round ?

all help greatfully received.

Thanks Andy,

any suggestions as to why only nearside is working, given that a new bumper was fitted and guess the repair shop have not reassembled the pipework correctly. Is the pipework easily accessible so I can debug it or it needs sending back to body shop ??

Cheers Chris

I am wondering if they have kinked or trapped a pipe :( that would be my first job, have a good look arond with a torch if not it will need to go back for the bumper to come off.

Since the car has been for paint, my first thought would be paint or dust in the jet...
