s1 washer jets headlights

[thatukguy_james]

good evening all

if any mods see this post. please close my s1 for sale. Gf using car

question

I noticed over the last few days that the washer jets under the headlights don't seem to be working.

I was told you need to have the lights fully on and not in auto and hold the stork for five seconds.

nothing seemed to happen and I wonder if had been disabled via OBD.

can anyone recommend where to look to see if they have been turned off by the old owners

Hello James,

I seriously doubt that they are turnable offable. 
I believe they only operate once for x times of the windscreen washers.

Again, I believe there are two pumps -but could be wrong. 
Worth checking if you can hear a pump operating, before getting at the washer reservoir to check for voltage at the pump/pumps, and for blockage in the outlets to headlight and windscreen washers. You will then need to blow the lines out if no further issues are found.

Perhaps you could let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

p.s. Re.your For Sale advert:- simply post ‘No longer available’ as an additional post next to the For Sale one.

Sorry but I don't understand any of that statement. Please explain.

As Magnet mentioned earlier, can you hear a pump operating when pulling the stalk?

[thatukguy_james]

looking now has been turned off. can code without pro

 

 

[thatukguy_james]

just to update everybody I manage to solve the problem by downloading some software from a German site that re-enabled the tick at the bottom and I have now enabled them and I'm working

[cliffcoggin]

Good news.

[Steve Q]

Glad you got sorted 🙂

[thatukguy_james]

yep , opened up all settings

just got to see what new tricks I can do.

also have to align the washes as very high

[thatukguy_james]

so have turned them off. they were spraying all over the bonnet and looked like someone had dropped milkshake all over the front and grill

so will see if i can allign them some how

If the jets have ball mountings you can move them with a pin in the nozzle.

thanks, not got around to doing yet, can they be coded like a service mode to come out and stay to work on?

[cliffcoggin]

I have no idea.
