Rear Washers (Dontwashers)

22-12-2002

My 2002 147 Selespeed has absolutely useless rear washers. At best they 'piddle' (they certainly dont squirt) about 3"/8cm up the rear window when stationary and even less when moving.

The car has only done 2000 miles and they were like this from new. Dealer was supposed to look at this and says they are OK.

is this typical? What can I do to improve this?

Suggestions welcome

seasons greetings to you all.

Sounds like it might be clogged somewhere or a weak pump? Mine go all the way to the top of the "wiped area" (new term there!), even when I'm doing 110-120 km/h.

Are they really good pointed Alfabee?

Mine work fine but a while back my front ones stopped working and they fixed it for me (under warranty) and recently, whilst polishing my bonnett I stuffed up one of the jets and it was blowing water past my door and getting my rear passenger window wet! hehehehe, they fixed it for me last service.. and the best thing is that I didn't even mention it to them. Nice service.

Mine works fine AFTER I adjusted the heightscrew in the base of the wiper
