Screen-wash pump

Sends cleaning fluid toward the glass nozzles.

Where it sits

Attached to a washer-fluid reservoir.

How it works

An electric pump supplies the selected wash circuit through hoses and valves.

Think of it as

A small pump feeding the car’s spray bottle.

Symptoms when it fails

No spray may come from an empty tank, blockage, freezing, leak or electrical fault.

Lifespan

Inspect lighting, seals and attachment points for condition. UV exposure, moisture and impacts influence exterior wear.

Repair cost

Small trim differs from complete adaptive lamps or body structures; paint, calibration and access may add work.

The BMW angle

BMW headlight washers, where fitted, can use a separate pump or circuit from windshield washing.

Used in

BMW exterior designs across generations; styling cues and lighting options vary.
