E36 Washer Fluid issue... :(

Hey,

My wipers work, but when i flick the stick forward to spray the fluid on the windshield, nothing comes out. The fluid in the well goes down though, so i don't know where its going. Perhaps blockage??? im confused. please help, thanks in advance!

Have you checked the nozzles? Mine were blocked by car wax, I used a pin to clear them out.

It's possible the tubing became disconnected from one of the connections, this happened to me, although it only affected one of the nozzles. I had to undo the insulation under the hood to get access, but lo and behold, once I did I found that somehow the tubing became separated, don't know how. Bit of a pain undoing the insulation, tedious but straightforward.

If fluid is running through the tubes and your nozzles aren't blocked and still nothing comes out... it could very well be your check valves being stuck closed. They're located under the hood right next to the exit point of the fluid. You could either order new check valves (they're like $4) or just connect it directly. I did the latter.
