washers

Any recommendations on power washers , I'm due to buy one as my karcher died last week . What make do you use ? Cheers

Hello All. My headlight washers do not work probably. :fail I know they operate using the actual water pressure. Mine do not get up to pressure due to either a cracked jet or holed pipe. I think due to being left with no additive during freezing weather. If i try and operate them, they pop...

Hi all I have managed to get my headlight washers working today Bought a pump from e-bay for £14 and replaced the old one and all is working again :) To get access to the pump I had to remove a small plastic panel in the wheel arch at the front of the wheel, held by 3 10mm bolts and 4...

Hi All, Something to note is that my W209 CLK failed it's MOT on Friday as the headlamp washers don't work. They never have in the time I have had it and I don't care because I clean it regularly (plus, we have had it on a Star and it's not a simple pump/switch replacement issue). New rules...

Hi all, Both the windscreen and rear window washers have suddenly stopped working (predictably just as the MOT is due). The wipers are fine and the fuse, according to the fusebox cover, governs both them and the washers. My question is: is there another fuse somewhere for the 2 washer motors...

Hello. Bit of a strange question I suppose but I went to a hand car wash today and I have noticed that they spray some funny chemical on the car and the dirty just falls off once it has been sprayed with the jet wash. It does a fantastic job on the diamond cut alloys and I would like to get hold...

I had to use the screen washers for the first time today, and they are set far too low, hardly hitting the screen. On previous cars, it's been a simple job to adjust with a pin, but these seem to spray in a fan shape, and the jets aren't easily get-attable, it seems. The car is a new C220...

Well my headlamp wipers are working but there seems to be no water coming out of either water nozzle. Any ideas peeps before i start my investigations ??? cheers Tony.PS My car 1997 W202

my 2003 sl55 windscreen washers dont work. ive just checked the pump and it works when connected to 12 volts, so its not that. is there a fuse for it or is it going to be a weeks worth of diagnostics ?

Does anyone know how to use the headlight washers on bi-xenon headlights? Thanks

Dear All, My facelift W211 saloon seems to have blocked headlight washers. The wash tank is full and screen washers work ok. When operated, the washers pop out for a nano-second, do the sweep and go back in. There is a noise from the pump and a few bubbles coming out of the jets. How...

Hi How do you aim the nozzles without breaking something? Each one seems to have a rectangular fluid nozzle hole with rectangular slots above and below - all housed in a circular moveable piece. I'd like to get the spray so that it hits the windshield about 2/3 of the way up, but adjusting with...

Hi guys, Today my wipers stopped working (in every position on the stalk) and also so did the washer jets. If I press the washer jet button or turn on the wipers on they do not work in either manual or auto mode. The manual headlight washers however are working fine. I have checked all...

Hi all, I've just bought (today, not yet collected) an SLK with AMG bumpers and headlamp washers. When I tried to get them working, they wouldn't, with the main beam lights on of course! I checked behind the flap and the mechanism is there so they're not blanking plates. Does anyone have any...

I've had a good look on the site and the rest of the web but can't find any info on how to replace the headlamp washers as one of them is leaking. Is it all done from underneath or can the headlamp washer jets be stopped when they pop out so that I can inspect which one is leaking. Any links...

Pair of headlight washer. Originally from a 97 C36, motor, arms and wipers seem to be in good condition.

Had 2 differing opinions on this: No doubt one of the benefits is that it removes the majority of dirt/debris before washing the car , so could potentially reduce scratches. However some people claim that the high pressure can damage paintwork if misused. Would you use a pressure washer...

I wonder if someone can give me some advice. At the end of 200 mile journey in my normally bulletproof '79 450 SL, as I got home I heard a loud buzzing noise coming from the engine compartment. When I got out I realised that the washer jets and pump were running (the lights were on as it was...

I hope this is some help to anyone with the above problem, My son lost his wipers and washers on his c200cdi ,I checked the fuse then the switch in the bonnet catch ( you can just pull off the plug it is open with the bonnet shut)so after looking on the forum I bit the bullet and removed the air...

Just popped the wheel arch liner to try and have a look at the non-functioning headlamp washers on my 2001 C32 estate. The haynes manual shows one pump on the reservoir. I have 3. I presume the Haynes picture is for a saloon. without headlight washers. I'm without an assitant so I'm not...
