Wind screen Washers

[Big Brin]

I sent my 05 330i to the dealer to have the washer wipe system fixed (I thought under warranty) and they told me the filter was blocked and I had to pay. 'Wrong sort of screen wash!!!!) Not covered under warranty as there was no faulty part. I argued and lost with BMW, but accepted it. A month down the line the bl**dy thing has stopped working again and I have not filled it since the dealer did. Wrong kind of screen wash; ho ho! Anyone else had this trouble??

The dealer said that I should use BMW approved screenwash, to which of course I replied don't be daft. Nothing mentioned in the warranty nor the operating manual. I am also definitley not filling with pond water; in fact with the pre mix stuff from halfrauds. Can't figure out why the filter would get blocked after one tankful. Do you reckon the screen wash is melting the plastic...!!!
