Leaking headlight washer

[csman]

I have problem with a leaking headlight washer on my 2005 C2S. As soon as you fill the windscreen/headlight washer bottle the left hand side headlight washer starts to seep from the nozzle and doesn't stop until the low fluid warning comes on in the car.

both the headlight jets seem to work correctly when I wash the headlights, but the left hand side one will not stop seeping afterwards.

Any ideas of easy fixes or is this a book it into the garage job?

cheers

Sounds like a leaky nozzle - isn't that covered under warranty?

Loren, that is true, however, the guy appears to be in the UK and they do not get a 4 year from new warranty like we do in the US.

The nozzle is in two parts the tip which can be removed (unlikely to be this as its just a spray nozzle) and the lower stalk which comes up on operation part # 997 628 133 00.

To remove this and it does need the bumper removed:

Press both retaining lugs of spray nozzle together and remove it from front apron

Release quick connecting lock of water connection and pull away from the spray nozzle

Insert spray nozzle in front apron until it engages

Push water hose onto spray nozzle until it is felt to engage

I am aware he is from the UK - I was merely suggesting that he try and get his OPC to fix it for free - as goodwill (warranty) service. Porsche pays for many these every year and some good dealerships (OPCs) paid for some too. It never hurts to ask.
