BMW Wiper Washer Hose

albionrovers

.....is leaking into my engine before reaching the windscreen.

Any links for a new one please?
Will a bit from B&Q do?
Thanks.

Seconded. It's nothing special. Make sure that it's not just popped off a connector though. If it has, the usual cause of this is a blocked washer jet.

Halfords also sell the proper hose, but it would probably cheaper in a fish shop.

Just had a closer look in daylight.
It's the actual connector bit in the middle that has split, it was taped up by the previous owner and has only just fell to bits. Any links to the new part? Google isn't giving too much away.

I wouldn't even know where to begin looking for a fish shop.

scrap yard and your pocket


with washer bottles i poor in hot water twice a year and them squirt it out, it loosens up the sludge and gets rid of it

flang

is yours an e36 or e46?
I have the same problem on mine and it appears the only way to fix it to replace the jet. (looks although its in two halfs and leaks inbetween)
It takes ages to unscrew the cloth from the bonnet!

Not knowing which BMW you have I cannot track it down and post a direct link to it, but have a search around here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do and I'm sure you'll find it.

It's an E39 5-series.

Called into my local Overdrive shop and the kind lad cut me double what I needed for no charge.
Not sure why the original part is in 2 halfs, making the middle joining bit susceptible to leaks? I have replaced with 1 straight length of hose and it's now fine.

Cheers for replies folks.

Glue it back together with some polystyrene cement available from any model shop.
