great video. very clear. You probably didn't need to show the second side dismantling etc. But very satisfying seeing them both retract so neatly! Cheers

[@BMWFAMuk]

Thanks for the comment and appreciate you liking the vid, looking back on it you right but for continuity etc had to show both sides, hope you get yours sorted, easy job but worth it 😎👍🏻

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it, plenty more to come 👍🏻

Mine just came flying off today and took the part that comes out with it 😂😂😂😂 going to do this once I get the parts! Great video

Great good clear video showing them bloody clips in detail makes it easy now to understand how to get em out i struggled like crap before now it will be easier . Cheers bro

Hope it helps mate 👍🏻😎

Great video. Well done on the camera angles.

[@BMWFAMuk]

Thanks mate 😂, hope it was helpful 😎👍🏻

@@BMWFAMuk took about 20 minutes per side without taking the wheels off or jacking the car up

[@BMWFAMuk]

👍🏻, obviously I mainly took the wheel off for the video and ear off access 😎👍🏻

[@Stumc46]

​@330dfam I only did it that way because my jack wouldn't fit under the car so I couldn't get the wheels off

Some washer models are working on vaccum. Mine on CR-V is going out and washing but won't retract back. I have removed it see how it is functioning. It works as a vaccum to retract. Basically there is a rubber which holds washer nozzle that under pressure fly out and then as soon as the pressure drops the rubber between walls makes vaccum so it can be retracted. If rubber is damaged or not proper seal to the wall or if there is problem with nozzle it can't make enough vaccum to retract. Also the rubber lines should be undamaged. I thought first that there is a spring to retract but seems engineers choosen simple pressure vacuum solution. Both ends pump valve and nozzle valve should be good in order to retraction works, also rubber lines. Buying new washer will maybe solve this, but as I saw how it works it could be rubber lines somewhere punctured.

[@BMWFAMuk]

Hi mate yes they work under positive pressure from the pump, mine were not retracting, for the cost of new ones, it’s wasn’t worth repairing just replacing, hope you sort yours 😎👍🏻

[@kmtb2011]

i actually did this repair today, you dont need to take off the wheel! just full lock the steering left or right depending on side you working on

[@BMWFAMuk]

I know mate but for the purposes of a vid and trying to film it, for the sake of 5mins easier to take the wheel off 👍🏻😎

[@tomsky8414]

Great content that’s what I have to do on mine 👌

[@deanpedley]

Enjoy theses video tom...I had to do my windscreen washer bottle yesterday as f30 are so fuzzy when it comes to mixing screen wash and it block my filter inside the bottle so I cut end of filter off so it won't happen again lol as they are known for blocking

[@Tom-dz7of]

Appreciate it, just watch your headlight washers if you’ve cut the filter out😂, 🇬🇧💪🏼😎

[@deanpedley]

@Tom-dz7of only cut top off m8 they aren't needed and just block they are so fuzzy with different brands of screen wash they are like a living breathing being theses cars 🤣🤣

[@sebastianm4023]

hi, thanks for the good video, i just changed my right side jet and plan to do the left tomorrow, they've been rarely working the last few weeks so planned to change, now ive changed the right, they dont seem to be coming out at all when i test the washers, the windscreen washers etc work fine but the headlights are not activating - i havent put a cover on but surely thats not an issue? any idea what could be wrong? there isnt a separate pump is there? thanks

[@BMWFAMuk]

Hi mate as far as I know there is a separate pump, the headlight washers won’t activate the same as the windscreen washers probably every 3rd time or so, I can look into it for you, the cover won’t make any difference mate, how were the old jets? Did they reassess properly? If it’s just there not spraying at any point, might be a pump or a blockage

[@sebastianm4023]

@@BMWFAMuk cheers for the reply - yeh i tried with the lights on & waited about a few times, weird as they were working last night, even though barely, unless that separate pump was on the way out. Ye the jets are pretty stiff tbh so prob needed the change. i guess ill have to check that pump tomorrow and see if i can clean it up/unblock anything

[@steveng5503]

Well done mate. Space Grey is a cool colour like. You got BLOB. I had SNOB. 😆✌🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

I thought it was sparkling graphite, that's what mine is.

@@elemar5 I could be wrong. My one was space grey. Looks same. 👍🏻

[@szablxrd6068]

How did u make it to stay pushed out at the beginning?

[@BMWFAMuk]

That was because it wasn’t fully retracting, hence changing it, if your gentle it will pull out

[@szablxrd6068]

@ oh okay, ty ✌️

Very well explained without.

[@Mukalazi]

Nice Job. I'll do mine this weekend..

[@JIMMYHIBBS1]

Great - thank you - I know they are cheap, but if its only dirt, etc, is there any mileage in removing and cleaning rather than replacing?? Mine are playing up, and the car only has 22k miles on it - so barely been used. Thank you.

[@BMWFAMuk]

Hi mate, it’s worth a go if want, but in my opinion do it once not twice, it’s a low milage car so may just be from lack of use 😎👍🏻

[@JIMMYHIBBS1]

@@BMWFAMuk yeah - I thought buying a super low mileage car was a good move - but it’s definate pros and cons - some stuff is much better for it - some stuff is worse for it

[@BMWFAMuk]

How long have u had it, if it’s 22k probably only done 2-3k a yr, good oil change and a run, cars like to be used and not sat, but it’s a balance mate, low milage is good but like a hight milage there may be a few faults, just nothing major engine wise 😎😎

[@JIMMYHIBBS1]

@@BMWFAMuk not had it long, but it was the mother in laws from new - so I know everything about it - actually sold a lot newer (but higher mileage) Audi to buy it - good car, but defo feels like it’s getting better with more use - suspect it’s never been above 2500 revs and 1/8 throttle in its life - but freeing up as I use it properly - except (even when driving like miss daisy) only getting 17mpg (only a 320i auto - but is in London)

[@BMWFAMuk]

Mate, change all oils engine, gearbox, diff and I’m sure it will love you for it, if it’s had regular short journeys should be ok, but u may need to change suspension bushes etc, other than that sounds like you’ve got a good car mechanically, few teething problems, nothing major and it’ll be mint low milage car 😎👍🏻

If you check out the vid I did on the e91 that should explain it, they should be the larger size 33mm I think

@330dfam thanks bro will check it out!

[@mohammedkahaf2428]

Thank you for this, I had no fluid from the windscreen washer jets so I’ve previously removed and cleaned out the reservoir and filters and now they work great. Will be doing this to get the headlight washers to work as when I activate the pump there’s a pool of water and nothing else. Do you have an eBay part link or part number? Cheers

[@BlueCrow7]

most parts places can get them in

[@BMWFAMuk]

Hi mate Tom might have the part number but as blue crow7 said most parts places will order in just of your reg or eBay but I’d go with parts places 😎👍

@@BMWFAMuk I tried to get one from my parts place, it didn't look anything like this one and turned out not to be correct and was returned. Can you recommend a parts place please? Or a parts code please? I need to find a locking wheel nut tool too, cos guess what the seller forgot to give me when I bought the car.. that's right #fail Cheers

[@NightmarishPT]

Mine actually retracts properly but gets stuck outside. Is it possible that the plastic that guides it is misplaced?

[@BMWFAMuk]

Hi mate it’s possible, the ones on mine didn’t fully retract all the time, but work perfectly now, I would say if your removing them to inspect for the money it’s just worth replacing 😎👍🏻

[@HorrorshowSam]

Is it necessary to remove the wheel to do this or can you turn it all the way round and squeeze in?

[@BMWFAMuk]

Personally I’d remove the wheel as the car would definitely need to be jacked up to remove inner lining bolts etc, but if u manage it without let me know 😎👍🏻

[@HorrorshowSam]

@@BMWFAMuk haha I’ve changed so many parts on BMWs but honestly never removed a wheel 😅

You e been lucky then, or just lazy😂, depends on what your doing but if it’s in the wheel arch just makes it easier 🤷🏼‍♂️😎💪🏼

[@sahilmohammed8715]

please can you share where you bought these from?

[@edgaralan9917]

How did you have them sticking out from bumper to start with /

😂😂😂😂😂 true story tho

[@steveng5503]

@@BMWFAMuk Must admit I enjoy writing up comical patronisation in the guise of comical situations. I think most of us has had the situation I describe. Being British we have a stiff upper lip and most of us grin and bear it. Then most of those people avoid talking about it afterwards as they then feel like they should’ve questioned the it. Which takes me onto the genuine parts thing. I can confirm that my local BMW dealer uses euro car parts for brake discs and pads. The oil they currently put in our cars is Mannol. Meets BMW specifications. But isn’t Shell or Castrol as you may believe. The used oil is “part exchanged” with their suppliers. Not sure what happens to it after that. Someone suggested the oil was used for heating. But I can’t find any evidence of that. Anyways mate… hope your getting along with the new addition. I’m sure you will let us know your findings. ✌🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
