Headlight Washer 01 D2

**Dazza67** · 5th February 2010, 05:41 PM

Has anyone replaced or know how to replace a standard headlight washer on a standard bumper, I picked up a replacement for a broken one ( thanks to the sister-outlaws "Chaff Burner" horse leaning against the car) today and cant find my rave cd to work out how change it.
It surely must be simple bit I am a little vision impaired when up close.

TIA

Hi Darren,
The washer itself has a little plastic cover that when removed has a phillips head screw beneath it.
Undo this & the washer will come away from the bumper but only by an inch or 2, then grab a pair of pliers & squeeze the hose clamp together & pull off the broken/damaged washer nozzle. Fit the new one while you still have hold of the hose clamp & then screw it back onto the bumper.
Its easier doing it this way as the new washer comes with a length of hose & it is harder to route the hose than to just replace the washer jet.

Cheers

Also I think you'll have to give the old washer a little bump towards the headlight before it lifts out.

Likewise, once you drop the new one in you'll have to slide it forward so the screw holes line up and it sort of 'locks' in.

Could I ask how much it set you back? I'm missing one myself.

Thankyou, thats the bit that had me a bit worried, when I bought the part having this foot long hose on it and where I would find/track where it connects to, I will give it a go in the morning after I sober up from the price of the new one ($40) I talked them down to trade $33 at least.
