Z4 Coupe Washer bottle warning light wont go off.

Post by ian.lb » Fri Aug 13, 2010 7:24 pm

Hi,

My washer bottle warning light has been on on the dash since I bought my car. I thought it was just the fluid level but I've brimmed it and its still on.

Any idea why?

Cheers

Ian

AFAIK all Z4's have the washer fluid level light. See this thread, with pictures

All driven weekly, or should that be weakly...

Obviously I'm not making it up guys, come on... Its a symbol of a windscreen with a wiper and fluid squirting up, and it says in the manual 'check washer fluid'.

End of debate......

Thing is though, I was actually looking for some constructive help here rather than a debate so to get back to the point, does anyone know why the light is still on???????
