95 530i Touring Headlight cleaning system info

[db9]

Hi,

Base lining 1995 530i Touring (CND car) build date is 04/95 (VIN GF81171)

At this point the washer pump for the windscreen doesn't work and I don't know if the headlight/fog light cleaner works either

I've determined that the windscreen washer pump needs to be replaced (applied direct power with no response) - however with the airbox removed I see there is a second tank mounted lower and behind the bumper - this is gravity fed from the main tank mounted on the right inner fender.

RealOEM show this as item 12 (61678350934) on..

This diagram also shows pump (item 28) and gasket (item 29) and no part number as they are "greyed" out in the image (so NLA?)

Any reference that I can find in Bentley doesn't mention this tank.

However the "main" tank appears graphically as item #1 in realOEM as ..

But no mention as to how these 2 tanks are connected or how the lower tank is routed to the headlights/fog light spray nozzles.

The ETM shows a headlight washer cleaning module (6167.0-02) and a pump - I have yet to determine where this module is located and assume that the pump is located in the lower tank..


As I'd like to determine if the headlamp/for cleaner is working ..

Does anyone have information as how to ..

1) access and remove the lower tank?

2) how it is connected to the spray nozzles?

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
