BlowMyWhistle 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 Hi Y'all, on behalf of my daughters 320 1989 e30... The windsreen washers are blocked up, so I've attacked them with a fine wire & got one side going okay. But under the bonnet in the centre is the T joiner. is it normal for the washer fluid to squirt out the 2 holes? Is there sum kind of valve there or is it just shot? Cheers (Y'all) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerry 10 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 its a 1 way valve to hold the water at the washer nozle for instant water at the press of the lever and they are very common to leak, as glenn said get a new one . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30ftw 410 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 I had a normal T piece in mine (for vacuum hose), Probably explains why you would push the level to spray and have to wait abit for the water to come. Didn't realize it was actually a valve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 178 Report post Posted January 6, 2010 Haha... I had the same problem, I didn't realise there was a valve either so I replaced the T-junction with a garden irrigation piece from Bunnings. I failed a warrant on that because the inspector insisted my screen washer didn't work.... however he hadn't held the lever on for long enough. Passed as soon as I showed him though. Learn something new every day eh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
