Headlight washer jet removal

L-sykes · 06-16-2023, 10:59 AM

Hi.

First post, sorry if its in the wrong forum.

I was just refitting my front bumper and accidentally broke the driver side headlight washer jet, it broke on the nipple end that goes into the water pipe. I'm going to have to order and fit a new one at some point.

My question is, how do I remove the plastic plug that goes into the water pipe? There's a connector with a section that pulls down to reveal 2 blue clips, but I have no idea of to get it off. Any advice would be very helpful.

I've found a picture of the connector I'm struggling with.

Thanks

Looks like the right-angle fitting is just pressed into the black hose.
Use https://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do to find the part # & shop using that #. Good luck!

If it is like my 2011 E90, the hose just presses onto the nipple and there is an audible click.
