Hi guys new to this forum

David from Glasgow - i own a 2014 (64) 520d

the headlight washers have not been working since last winter.

The stalks are free moving when i manually use my hands to bring them out. so they are not stuck.

are these fed off the main pump or is there seperate pumps that work these? If there is - where are they located and any links to a image or manual on how to remove them.

my MOT is due next month and i need these fixed.



Thanks in advance guy s


David

I had this happen to me on an old 3 series
after trying to see if it was blocked pipes, was the motor working etc
it turned out there is a filter at the bottom of the washer bottle (which I had to remove to get to)
It was an easy job to do but I had no idea there would be a filter there. it was totally blocked - but easy to clear
see if the same applies to your 5 series
