Headlight Washer Missing - Not The Cover.

[2.2HDI]

Hi all,

 

I have a 2001 2.2 Hdi C5 and recently the drivers side headlight washer has broken off completely and been lost. The entire arm which would normally come out and spray the headlight is missing. Any ideas on the best options to replace it?

 

How does it come out, would it be by removing the headlight or does the bumper have to come off?

 

Thanks for any advice.

Looks as if this is a new job for members on this site. Citroen parts diagrams show the washer jet part, its cover and the rear support part (looks like a tube with the jet at the end) are available as separate parts so you may just need the jet. Haynes only touches on it. The Citroen procedures include it in the headlight removal - but it says first to remove the bumper and then unclip the headlamp washer from a small bracket - a picture shows it at this point without the washer cover. After this the headlight is removed. So, I doubt you need to remove the headlight and maybe not the bumper but possibly only the washer cover and the front undershield.

 

Haynes -

Carefully pull the headlight washer jet covers from the bumper, then lift the black plastic clip at the top and remove the covers. Note that the covers are fragile and very easily damaged.

There are 2 photos - 1 shows the cover pulled out so the washer clip can be released. The other seems to show from the back of the bumper the support with the caption - To aid refitment, pull out the washer jet and hold it in position using a 13 mm spanner.

 

If you manage to do the job, please come back and write a few lines on how you did it.
