Worked perfect on my 435. Filled tank with water to top. Unclipped the hose feeding the nozzle line attached to hood. Used air compressor to push air backward. Of course the first time I pressed the air line I pushed so much air the smelly water erupted all over me. Did this this twice. Works great now. Huge thanks!

I found this video sort of helpful but when I went to emulate it on my X5 it was just too difficult. So I added a quarter of a bottle (50 grams or a couple of tablespoons) of brewers detergent (Sanistar) and a cup of Clorex to to the water tank and filled it with hot water. BOOM 5 minutes later water was flying all over the windscreen just like brand new, saved myself hours. Great helpful video keep making them but sometimes there are just easier ways. All the best clear vision to you all!!!

Hi George 🙋‍♂️ !! Thanks a lot for this tip, it worked a treat 😊👍 !! My 320i is only 15 months old when the screen washer stopped working. I was dreading taking it in to the dealership and have them open it all up 🚘👨🏻‍⚕️! I used a football pump to introduce the air; the nozzle was a perfect size for the job ✅! A ten minute fix 💦! Greetings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, cheers, Don 👋

Tried that method on my 72 plate X5 before I sent it into the main dealer for it to be dealt with under warranty . Had a nasty surprise when they told me they had tested the water in the reservoir and found I had used non bmw screen wash and it’s NOT covered under warranty and I had to pay £190 to have the filters changed and the reservoir flushed out … it’s so expensive as they , as George said they have to remove the inner wing cowling to get access . I had three X5 in the last 10 years and this is the first time I have had this issue .to my knowledge I have had my car 18 months and only topped up the reservoir ONCE with non bmw approved screen wash and the filters became blocked !!!

Thanks for this video as I had no idea that this happens. I have a 2018 X3 so I tried this yesterday. It didn't appear to work initially but today, I have my washers again. This is definitely worth a try before trying to dismantle half the car or just booking it into the garage for a costly labour job. Some people have suggested drain unblocking fluid for what will be sitting at the bottom of the tank but worried that may cause some damage.

Thanks for another video, George. I had similar blockages with my BMW. Old screen wash had turned to a gel in the bottom and gunked things up. An additional preventive measure I was tipped off about was frequently adding steriliser tablets such as are used for baby bottles. No issues since.

@howardbeer5214 Жыл бұрын

When it turns to gel is because someone has used washing up liquid in the bottle Never use WASHING UP LIQUID .

@johnhall6091 Жыл бұрын

In my E46, once a year I add one Milton (or Boots or the like) Sterilising Tablet in the reservoir. It kills of any mould growth which can be the cause of blocking filters.

Nice one George, do hope your getting a decent money for your hard work. Always liked your passion for fixing things. When i had my e92, in this summer i had to remove the whole bottle, the wheel arch was a pain, mostly the 2 hidden bolts. After that had to block the bottle and out bleach inside the washer bottle, for 3hours shaking it about, Also had to add some uncooked rice to shake the bottle to able to scubb the remaining mold inside the bottle.... once everything was clean, pipe all blown....felt like a brand new screen washer system.

What about front windshield jets are working, but rear one isn’t and there a a notification that the fluid is low ?

@andrewthompsonuk1 Жыл бұрын

My rule of thumb is to never put tap water in the washer tank. Stuff grows in it... Pre mixed stuff is the best of concentrate watered down with cheap bottled water is ok.

You have to pry the clip off

@giggity4670 Жыл бұрын

Can you poke a hole in the filter on the pump so it not filtering anymore as you can't take it off as it is used as a seal as well as me and my brother changed the pump as it was making some good noises and water dribbling out and after some fighting got to it with just the wheel arch off if was easy to get the pump off it is getting it back in that is the hard part. But now after a few months it is starting to lose presser again bit by bit so guess it is blocking up again i use the pre mix halford screen wash so dont know why it keeps doing it so if i just break the screen if any gunk gets stuck it will be in the lines or spray heads what is easy to get to or you can buy the seal without the filter will that work better or just make it worse.

@GeorgeAusters Жыл бұрын

Best thing to do is clean out the washer bottle and not use thick washer fluid.. I use concentrate and water it down a lot!

George are you ever going to stop with the clickbait titles and thumbnails? This was an interesting video, why don't you just title it for what it is?

If you’re not creative with titles then they just won’t get recommended.. This was my worst performing video until I changed the title to a more creative one👍🏻
