chrislich Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Hi peeps I've got a problem with one of my washers. It's coming out but only half going back in. Anybody come across this before and any ideas what it might be? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 blocked pipe as they work on pressure IIRC... May be a bumper off or at least a jack and undertray off to get to the pipes and give them a clean... Suppose that would be the first part of a fault finding process!

R35LEE Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 PM sent Chris, Clean plastic runners & use vaseline or need realigning by unbolting an moving around until mech can move freely Fiddy - by the sounds of it they are coming out fine so not a pressure problem mate. It's the mechanism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Certainly work on pressure pushing them out, think they are spring return though. This is normally a problem in the winter with frozed pipes but Mark may be right in suggesting a blocked pipe in this case. Or the above post solution.

3FIDDYZ Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I always had a problem with these doing them on my own... I seemed to find that pushing the button and then running to the front of the car I never seemed to get there in time before they went back in...
