Head light washer stopped working?!!
Has anyone else had this issue, my head lighter washer system has stopped working.
I tried it a couple of days ago when the temperature was below freezing and it didn’t work, then yesterday temp was well above freezing and it did work a couple of times but with very little fluid coming out, then it stopped working. However you can still hear the systems trying to work but no fluid comes out.the windscreen washer system works perfectly...strange...

The headlight washer feed is probably higher than for the windshield as that is the important one.
Can’t day for sure though as I’m on my 2nd 911 and I’ve never tried the headlamp washers! 😊

Excellent!
There’s a funny story why I knew this...years ago I had an old Toyota Corolla estate (station wagon), and even though it was very old and high mileage everything worked on it and nothing would ever break. Then one day I noticed the rear window washer wasn’t working but the front was. I was happy for some reason that I’d finally found a fault on it, but it turned out it was only low on washer fluid, and the feed pipe for the rear washer is purposely higher than for the front!

I thought because I tried to use it when the temp was well below zero and the head light jets were frozen that maybe the system has sprung a leak under the pressure of the fluid not being able to exit properly...
