i had all of the above issues with my mc , filling the washer bottle only resulted in water pouring from the bulkhead which on first inspection seems nigh on impossible to remedy . however i found that just pulling back the sound deadening in the pedal area i could access the pipe where it passes through the bulkhead , to which i fitted a 90 deg connector and several feet of clear washer pipe from halfrauds which i then pushed through the bulkhead and fitted a non return valve and routed neatly to the washer bottle. this had the added bonus of losing the rubbish plastic pipe bmw use !

rear washer connection

The rear window washer is not working. I've cleaned the 5lt container and the connections to it and swapped the connection tubes so that that front washers would be "feed" from the other side of the 5lt container and vice-versa. The front washers always work...but I never get water on the rear window.
First I do not know exactly where is the water supposed to come out at rear...
I also do not see water anywhere inside the car so I do not know where to go now...what should be my next step? Is it a case of the tube being blocked? (I was able to suck some water from it but did not fancy doing so)...What could be the most plausible reason for this?
I would like to add that when I bought the car it was like this so I thought that was normal...then when "inspection day" came, my indy (at that time) told me it was supposed to work and he got it to work. I did not ask how (bummer!!) and since the car now goes to a BMW dealer I have no way of knowing...///M Coupe 2001 S54 Steel Grey - Paulo M.

A complete detailing will have to wait for summer vacations...///M Coupe 2001 S54 Steel Grey - Paulo M.
