Windscreen washers work headlamp washers don't

[lee davenport]

Anyone had the problem of windscreen washers working but headlamp washers not working? if so can you please let me know how to fix or what are the most common problems to cause this to happen

[kingos2]

have you had the bumper off? check the pipes in the bumper one might have slipped off

And make sure you have your lights on to test them

Me too, my pump has recently gone so got another one that doesn't make the headlamp washers work, only the windscreen washer.. great..

I Like them, when you have got some w4nker too close behind, a few blasts of them soon cause them to back off.

common cause is the separate h/light washer pump failing. Depending which bottle you have depends where to look but on mine (3B) its tucked just behind nearside front wheel arch liner. If you take the tray off the bottom you'll find it....

@Steve - what wrong with them? Apart from dumping a load of fluid up a freshly waxed bonnet

[lee davenport]

is it the case that there are 2 pumps? one for the headlamp washers and one for the windscreen washers?

[s2driveruk]

yep

my washer bottle decided to leak so i took the pump out and let the rest of the water out(lighter you see )same with spare wheel and aux rad.but you might just like every thing to be right.i do most times unless it impedes performance.
