got a problem with te windshield washers not working. the head lights are working fine.

from what i have found i tcould be either blocked or motor on its way out, as it sounds louder than normal (compared to my 330ci).

its only a few days old so if i cant fix it easily then will give the garage i bought it from a call (as there are some other little problems) - however he seems hesitant to help via text now hes got the cash from me!

it has 3 months warranty so they should fix it, shouldnt they?

thanks

Depends on the 'warranty' they've included. Some omit lots of little things, and concentrate just on major mechanicals.

If you've got a blockage that could be making the motor louder anyway as it'll be straining. Start at the washer jets & work backwards.

If it's a E90 shape then it's a regular thing and common fault.

There's a gauze filter where the pump feeds the outlet tube. It will be blocked with gunge, usually caused by using cheap screenwash.
