Headlight washers, dip pop.

kraanc · 2nd December 2015, 11:23

Hi.
My head light washers doesn't come on anymore. Usually they worked every 5th time when windscreen was washed. Now they don't work

Windscreen and rear window washers works fine. Tank is full of liquid. Is there any fuse or switch or something, that could go wrong?

I also was in a bit shock when opened bonnet. The engine oil dipstick was 2 cm out of slot and all that left part of engine was covered in oil. Can it pop out by itself?? Anything wrong with presure in engine?

You'll need to change your crankcase filter.
As for the headlight washers probably a seized pump.

Worth mentioning the above advice is for a diesel NOT a petrol 190

As i thought, i cannot find the crankcase filter for petrol engine online.
Any more ideas? Try to clean breather pipes?

headlamp washer pump - the pump is very loud so if you can't hear any sound coming from it on your 5th wash, the pump has probably failed. easily replaced by peeling back the wheel arch and unclipping the bumper slightly

Doubt it, headlight wash pump sits well above the screenwash pump. As mentioned check the pump is working.
