washers

An issue with the washers, push the lever once nothing happens, let go and do it again always works second time. Had a look at the fluid bottle , emptied it out, couldn't see any crud in it. So is it the pump on the way out or the washer switch?

I thought I would bring this to folks attention as it may affect quite a few MB models which are fitted with those integral head lamp washers. I bought this mint W210 last week and although extremely well cared for both of the covers that are flush with the surrounding bodywork looked slightly...

02 E320 CDI Estate. My front and rear windscreen washers are not working. When I press the button to squirt the washers nothing happens. There is no sound coming from the washer motor and no washer fluid is being used. The pipes are all intact. At first I thought it was the recent frosts but...

I have a w209 clk320 avantgarde 2003 and it has light washers fitted but i cant get them working are there any common probs with them i have already checked all the fuse's. the lights dim a little when i press the...

Hi guys, not sure what section this goes in so i'll start it here. My windscreen washers are broken, I assume it is the pump as when i open the bonnet and push in the stick there is no sucking there is no noise and the water just sits there :( Any help advise, Part numbers would be...

Hi all, Sunny day, encouraged me to wash car and I "clipped" one of the windscreen washer jets which promptly snapped leaving half of the jet below the bonnet. :-( The jet shows signs of having been glued in the past and is comprehensively buggered. The Haynes manual is once again of NO...

Anyone had this before? I'm pretty sure it's in the multiway stalk switch thing - in the switch itself, or maybe the connectors, or a harness connector somewhere that's coming apart. Any tips on how to get at the switch and check out the connectors? The rest of the switch (lights flash/main...

All, picking up a 03 plate c200K sports coupe this week. During my test drive i noticed that the car is fitted with headlight washers, cool. I checked parkers for the standard/optional specs of this car and it looked like the headlight washers option is only available as part of a pack that...

I had these on the 55, I was thinking about using them or something similar on a tank turret im designing at work, does anybody know about them or where I can get any information on them?

:mad: Just bought a '99 E320 7 seater estate for £4100.00Not bad I thought?Anyway,I cant get the windsreen washers to work.At first I thought it was empty so I topped up the reservoir.The motor seems to be working and water dribbles out from where its supposed to squirt.Ive stuck a pin up the...

Are non-working windscreen washers an MOT failure? Mine just dribble :rolleyes: Checked the obvious such as a kinked pipe, but all looks OK. Pump works, so guessing at a blockage somewhere. I haven't really got time to fully investigate before an MOT on Wednesday and won't be using the car...

The headlamp washers on my R129 have suddenly started dripping, the o/s one doing it at at the GTG on Sunday and the n/s one on the drive at home when I got back! Because they're both doing it I'm assuming it's something 'central' rather than a problem with the individual jet assemblies...

Has anyone got a pressure washer - a Karcher or similar ? I was wondering what shampoo you add - I want a really foamy one ? any ideas ? Also where do you get it from ? thanks

Trust the washer system to block at this time of year, plenty of salt on the roads eh! The jets seem clear of blockages, but water is escaping from behind the jets. I noticed lots of gunk floating in the washer bottle last time I refilled it. I don't use any additives just tap water, on...

Could anyone please recommend a decent power pressure washer for using mainly on Sprinter Van and possibly the cars. I am aware that excessive pressure will harm the paint/lacquerer . What make/model/PSI should I be looking at and does anyone know any good retailers on the net? I have had...

Hi, I have a power washer, but never turned it to my Merc. However, I wondered if anyone has an opinion on using this method of cleaning? Any Thoughts?
