big.h Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 bloody headlight washer wont go back in it cant be frozen as its warm by the engine ive tryed to push it back into place but its having none of it, plus it looks stupid sticking out the bumper. anyone had this problem before? Quote
Stew Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Only when it's frozen. Cup of warm water over it and then activate them. See if it retracts. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 lift bumper up and push washer down. should pop back, mine used to catch on the top lip of the opening. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 +1 on cold weather conditions. Happened to me once last winter, now I try not to use the washers with headlights on first thing in the morning. Usually do a last screen wash after the last drive of the day to keep it clear for the next day, just in case. Quote
big.h Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 i'll give both suggestions a try. its the little things that get to me sometimes!! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 jug of warm water on it first might help Quote
big.h Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 i'll use the kettle and if that dont work i'll hit it with the kettle!! should i just pour the water into the gap where it lives? Quote
narcotix Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I had this exact problem a few weeks ago .. only mine was on both headlight washers .. It resolved itself once the weather got slightly warmer ... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 i'll use the kettle and if that dont work i'll hit it with the kettle!! should i just pour the water into the gap where it lives? nothing to damage so yeah can do Quote
big.h Posted December 17, 2010 Author Posted December 17, 2010 good good, its just so annoying when little things dont work thanks for the all the replys guys. Quote
Matt L Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 stupid question do all zeds have them if so wow never realised it had them (how do you use them?) if they arent standard that would explain why i didnt know it had them Quote
Stew Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 All UK cars have them. They work when you spray the windscreen when your headlights are on. Quote
Husky Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 i keep all my washers with -40 stuff in all the time, never had a single problem and it smells so appley Quote
Chris`I Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Yup, remember to keep the concentration of screen wash much stronger at this time of year people Quote
