Im guessing this is a common problem....

With my engine running and the headlights switched on...if I opperate the windscreen wash function the headlight washers try and pop up but dont get very far and they deffinately dont spray anything...

Is there an easy way of taking them appart to give them a clean?...

Do they draw the water from the screen wash tank?


What makes them pop up?...its not a little motor is it?

Is your washer bottle topped right up? The headlight washers stop working when the washer bottle is nearly empty.

Interesting thought....will fill it right up and have a nother go...

Hahaaa....That was a simple solution....Its now full and good god those headlight washers are powerfull!!!!

Chears dude!

Yep, once the bottle gets down to 1L they stop working.

I like to scare my mates when they are standing near the car

well i didnt even no the car had them

Am guessin theres a button you press to use them, anyone tell me where it is? haha how thick!

They work automatically when your lights are on! Check it out

so when you turn your lights on water comes out and cleans them? mines never done that??

They work when the headlights are on and you spray the windscreen.
