Car Forum / BMW Cars / July 2005E39 winshield washer nozzles
Mine are completely plugged, so I removed them to clean. Bewfore I start, though, there is an electrical connection. I assume this is simply something to keep them from freezing and there is nothing like an electrical valve. Is this true? it is a heater for winter, exactly. > Mine are completely plugged, so I removed them to clean. Bewfore I start, > though, there is an electrical connection.

You English guys and your quaint language: "valve". I presume you mean switch. The answer is no; it comes on (at least in my E34 and E46) with the ignition switch just like the exterior rear-view mirror heaters. Floyd > You English guys and your quaint language: "valve".

Sounds like a perfectly logical and well constructed question to me - I'd have to guess your reading comprehension isn't all that high. >> You English guys and your quaint language: "valve".

I was thinking the same thing, but as a colonist, what do I know about the quaint way you guys butcher the language? ;-) My strange use of the language comes from the fact that I live in a non-English-speaking country, San Francisco. BTW, I talked to a parts guy at a dealership and the part is called a heated valve, so I think I answered my own question. >>> You English guys and your quaint language: "valve".

You're butchering the language, and you're not even from the Motherland, you're a local. > My strange use of the language comes from the fact that I live in a > non-English-speaking country, San Francisco.

Actually, the most common use of valve that I know of - as an electrical engineer - is the term for a vacuum tube. Remember them? And if you remember the *CONTEXT*, the OP is talking "electrical" thingies, not water flow, so up yours. Floyd >Actually, the most common use of valve that I know of - as an >electrical engineer - is the term for a vacuum tube. Remember them? I remember reading a few years ago that some Brit police force was equipping itself with Skodas. It was asked if they were the 16 valve versions, and some wag responded, "yes, 8 in the engine, and 8 in the radio." Thank you, and good night.

Really? There is no water flow through the electrically heated windshield washer nozzles? Hmmm... imagine that. Well, actually, there *is* none through his. That was his originbal complaint. But there is supposed to be. -Fred W
