Hi all,
Well the car failed it's MOT on the headlight washers not functioning. I have to confess in the five years I have owned the car I have not used these once. Anyways due to my lack of experience with how they function I was hoping someone could chime in and tell me if the pump sounds normal compared to yours?
I push the stalk forward and hold and I hear a buzzing noise for about 1-2 secs, the nozzles on the headlights both lift but nowhere near far enough and no water comes out. It then appears to give up entirely even though I leave the stalk depressed?!? Is this normal? Should I not be seeing a constant stream of water/buzzing noise until I let off the stalk?. If I pump the stalk the buzzing noises return each time and the jets attempt to emerge once per push before instantly dropping back down. I have taken off each headlight, water is ejecting from the the pipes and by attaching a hose both headlight jets appear fully functional.
