Mercedes Windscreen Washer Jet Not Working - How to Fix for Free

[@captainbarnes923]

How did you stop the wipers working when testing the spray with the bonnet open? I damaged the paint on the bonnet of my old W163 with the wiper arms, so don't want to risk the same happening if I need to do it on my W164

Hi Mate, great question! On the W164 the windscreen wipers don’t work if the bonnet is open, it is as simple as that! Cheers Drew

Thanks for this ! Followed your instructions, removed the nozzle and simply put it back and all works well again. Very useful thank you.

Thanks Drew for the tips.

Nice work and some good tips Drew! How many miles have you got now on that X164? Over the weekend I will be replacing the Swirl flap actuator motor and connecting rods (without removing the intake manifolds), looking forward to that!

Hi Charlie, my W164 has now done 175,000 kms thus a a bit over 100,000 miles. Swirl flap motor will be fun, are you recording it? Cheers Drew
