Gurjeet Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Does anyone know if the headlamp washers draw fluid from the main reservoir for the windshield wipers, or do they have a separate tank? Looked in the owners manual to no avail. I press the button for the washers when the lamps are on full and there is a loud whirring noise but no water coming out. Any ideas? Quote
srobrien Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Hey it should take it from the same tank as the windscreen wash (2 tanks piped together)...ala here http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19972 Perhaps you have a blockage. R Quote
Gurjeet Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 cheers mate. Its still under warranty so i will have a look at it tomorrow, if not i shall drop it by for some attention. Quote
Gurjeet Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 all sorted. It would appear that there was enough fluid in there for the windshield but not enough for the headlamps. weird. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 It’s important to keep the fluid reservoir full, not a good idea to let the motor run dry without enough fluid for the headlight washer jets to work… Quote

It's normal, windshield has higher priority, thus the headlamp wash will stop before the windshield will. It's also a good indicator to top up your screenwash. Quote

Gurjeet Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 fair enough. The warning light did not come on the dashboard though, even once the windshield had run dry. might need to check that one out Quote
BulletMagnet Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I didn't know we had a warning light for that. Quote
Gurjeet Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 i suppose that would make even more sense. cheers! Quote
BulletMagnet Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Just filled up my washer fluid, it took a whole 5 ltr canister of ready mixed. Greedy bee-otch.... Quote
