Windscreen washer problems anyone?
Hi all
this is my first ever post so apologies if this subject might have already been brought up in the past (a quick search didn't bring up anything though). I just got a used E89 SDrive 23i which is in fantastic shape and almost new. Really happy with it. Only glitch is that the windscreen washer only spurts out a few drops of water, even though the pump motor can be heard functioning. Headlight washers work ok. Anyone else ever had this problem? Any solution suggested? Tx and happy to join the community. |

Take a pin and push it into the openings of the washers. They might be clogged up.

Actually I was browsing around and apparently this is quite a common problem with the 3 Series models and it's possible the pump can be clogged up. I'll take it down to my trusted mech next week and will post an update. |

Ok people, situation update. Turned out to be the pump after all. The small impeller blades inside the unit appear to have been torn off the central shaft (probably by muck-generated pressure), so although the pump motor kept running no water pressure could be generated because of the missing blades. Replaced the pump unit and problem solved.
Thanks all for your helpful comments. Much appreciated ! |
