Headlight Washer Jet - Sourcing Help

[Youdey]

The headlight Washer Cap was missing so I ordered a new one however when I tried to fit it I realised that part of the Headlight Washer Jet had broken off too with it. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells it other than ebay which they are asking for £80 and will take about 50 days to arrive. I've had 2 off breakers however neither have been any good as they were broken & no other breakers seem to have it available.
It's the left passenger Headlight Washer Jet that needs replacing. The part number is 61677057451. If anyone is breaking a z4 with the Left Headlight Washer Jet available then I would be willing to buy it.

Many Thanks
Youdey

I went through all that pain with my latest E86.

Found a 2nd hand jet and bought a new cap so it all worked without leaking.

Then I pulled Fuse 40 so the headlamp washers wouldn't work. No more streaks up the front wings, missing caps or jets!

I had the same problem a few years ago and ended up buying a complete pre facelift bumper from someone updating as I needed a fog lamp as well. I flogged the spare washer, fog and grill and bumper ending up evens.

I may have one on an old bumper. I’ll have a look later and PM you.

[ref]Youdey[/ref], the bad news is both of mine on the old bumper are broken. On one the water inlet is broken off and on the other the water outlet has become detached from the spring loaded lifter and won’t satisfactorily reattach.

The good news is these are not “handed”. The base twists round so the water inlet can point one way or the other. So either a driver or passenger sided one will do for you.

Thanks, I was not aware of that. I'm assuming the spray nozzle isn't angled for each side???

When I was sourcing them I was advised that they are handed and left and right have a different part number on realoem. If they were the same I'm pretty sure BMW would not go to the expense of giving the same part different ID's, so is best to check.
