You said it yourself. I just purchased all new lines including the intesive lines which lead up to the two jet units on the bonnet. I also ordered all new hoses, connectors and all other parts between the reservoir and the two headlight jet units, one unit being on the driver's side and the second one on passenger's side. I replaced both headlight jet units the other day. Somehow the rigth jet of the driver's side headlight jet unit had broken off. So, becasue I am me and I am over the top picky when it comes to repairing, cleaning, I ordered jet units for both sides. I could have gotten away with just replacing the driver's side unit, but then the driver's side is nice and new from BMW while the other side was dull and dated. It wasn't until I replaced the driver's side jet unit that the line was brittle. I don't even know what kind of shap all of the other parts, connectors and hoses are for the headlight wash system, so I just ordered all new parts for the headlight wash system and windscreen intensive clean system from BMW.

Ryan is it normal for the used windshield washer water to drain from the wheel liner area on top by the fender area? I clearly see the drainage vents on each front wheel area. I originally thought i had a leak issue but after full servicing of the reservoir, new grommets and testing, I see that the water leaking is actually from the drain. Any ideas?

UNITED WE STAND says:

Ryan I’ve accessed my reservoir but how did you get the refill hose off? That white one that feeds water to the tank? I can’t get mine off to remove my reservoir and I don’t want to pinch too hard otherwise it might break or rip.

UNITED WE STAND says:

Ryan you are truly the BMW wizard! Awesome vids bro!

Your videos are very helpful with diy repairs on my recently rescued 2002, BMW e39 – 530i M-sport touring. I have to say that your car looks immaculate.

Gene Wyngaard says:

Is the pump always on the 'passenger side'? What if the car is right hand drive?

Zbigniew Lorkowski says:

Thank you for the tips!!!!!

Sam Lui says:

nice video, you've gotten a nice M5

Tim Callahan says:

Probably a dumb question – but if both the windshield and headlight washers are tied to that one container in the wheel well – what is the 2nd container & pump under the hood for?

wheatonna says:

Really great work. Detailed, clear, part numbers… well done!

George Patton says:

Ryan, you should check out the series of videos on a craigslist e39 on superspeedersRob channel, its pretty amusing
