I rang mb today as I need passenger side and centreZ its £56 for both!

As I expected, it's going to be expensive for a component that I've NEVER had to replace on any other car (& there've been many) in 40 years of driving!

What happened to the screen washer?

If it works out cheaper, have you considered used from a breakers?

At £24 for a nozzle, & they're handed, MB can shove it!!
I'll fill the hole with Araldite first & drill a minute hole!

The water comes out of a minute slot in an oblong piece of plastic, held in the nozzle housing.
God knows how, but one of these went missing.
Probably due to a build-up of frozen water, which blew the oblong bit into the ether!
Now, I get 2 nozzles spraying like a distempered dog on heat and the other like a casual Niagran overflow in a drought!

I'm in the process of contacting ALL those 'breaking' an ML on fleabay and main UK 'salvage' yards.

Are they blocked?
Have you or a friend got a compressor?
IF so connect a piece of hose to the jet fill with water an blast with the compressor ( it wont work with just air )
Not bad price at that considering they are heated.

 

[Jane270ML]

Definitely not blocked.
They're NOT heated.
