There are two pumps. One for windshield and one for headlights. The one from headlights it's burned and only by replacing it with a new one will make it work. Also check the fuses.
Yes, the washer fluid it's being pushed by the pump and it's pushing up the headlight washer from the bumper in order to eject the fluid on the headlights
Yes, when you trigger the buttons for the headlight washer the pump will push the water out and the pressure will push the little pistons out of the bumper and the water will splash on the headlight.
The former owner of my civic just stuck the cap on to make it look ok. I didnt even know what it was, however at night when I cleaned my windscreen, water would fly onto other cars. Anyway I took it off and had to buy the parts and got it fixed ny the garage. The right one works but the left one doesnt even pop out. Would you know the problem?
Possibly the hose wich goes in the right headlight washer pump it's probably blocked or closed and that why the fluid don't reach the pump to push it out and spray over the headlight

Hello, if you have a little square under the front headlights it's meaning you have this option on the car, to use it and to make it functional you have to pull the lever from which you turn on the windshield wipers a few times and they will open automatically and spray windshield cleaner on the headlight to cool them down and clean them at the same time. Hope it helps 🙏
You can't stop it, if your headlights are not turned on the headlight washer will not work, only with headlights turned on will start working, and you can use a special scanner tool to stop it from working permanently if you want this.
Car manufacturers do this on purpose. In Honda there is exactly the same headlight fluid pump location. You have to remove entire bumber, tear off half of the latches, damage the radiator cover and break the parking sensor wiring. Or go to the autohorized service and left them 100 Euro for bumber replacement.
Exactly, that's why Im showing videos like this to the society, people can learn from this and save a lot of money by doing the job at home with the right tools 🙏

My windscreen washer pump has been change and now working. But the headlight still not working. My xf is 2011. Has it just one pump or two please ?
There are two pumps. One for windshield and one for headlights. The one from headlights it's burned and only by replacing it with a new one will make it work. Also check the fuses.
Is it one pump for each headlight ? Great video.
No, it's just one pump located in the washer fluid compartment, one pump for windshield wipers and another pump for headlight wipers
Hey how easy to replace the washer?
Do you have to remove the whole bumper?
Skoda octavia 2017 hatchback
Yes, you have to remove the hole bumper.
Is the pump around same location in b5 passat, but on other side?
It's exactly in the same place, just look for your washer fluid location, I think on b5. 5 it's on the front left side.
Just to clarify.. does the washer fluid pump also power the pistons to push the covers up to expose the sprayer?
Yes, the washer fluid it's being pushed by the pump and it's pushing up the headlight washer from the bumper in order to eject the fluid on the headlights
Hello mate, does this mean that the pump's pressure makes the washer come out?
Yes, when you trigger the buttons for the headlight washer the pump will push the water out and the pressure will push the little pistons out of the bumper and the water will splash on the headlight.

Salut! Tot din cauza pompei nu iese nici spalatorul in afara? La mine tot asa, la un Mondeo din 2008 nu iese spalatorul afara. Multumesc!

How to stop it from working, my flue get empty!!

Mine headlight cleaner doesn’t pop up ?
Then you should find the fuse, it's probably burned or in the worst case the pump its burnt and you have to replace it
@@HOWTODO0828 i have to remove bumper to get acces to fuse right?
You never mentioned removing the front bumper !!!!
I forgot to mention it
Were are you from? 🙄
I'm from Europe
It's no fixing, simply replacing pump
Then you have to check the fuses Also, probably you have some broken fuses
You sound romanian.
You're right👍
Headlight washer is so useless lol
