Headlight washer jets

Post by ian-r » Thu Nov 17, 2016 8:42 pm

Hi all

Just checking if these cars have headlight washer jets? Had a great weekend in the car, sadly it was very dirty due to motorway driving. I didnt notice any headlight washer jets come on even though it has the flaps on the bumper to suggest they are under.

So do they have them? If they do, any known faults?

Thanks

My car is in hibernation in the garage so I can't check the E89 - but I know our 335 headlight washers only squirt on the third pull when the switch is set to auto headlights and when they are on.

Mine work when the headlights are on and the windscreen washers are on.

Doesn't make much difference to the cleanliness of the headlamps though.

Yes they work on the third use of your windscreen wash.
