Hi all,
Very close to buying a 197 (Finally) and found a good looking one. Just had an odd issue with the wiper jets.
When you pull the stalk back to trigger the washer jets the wipers start wiping but the pumps dont activate. There is no sound. Can do this multiple times and hold it for as long as you want, the pumps just dont start.
However, if you twist the end to spray the rear window a few times then try pulling the stalk back it works as it should, spraying and wiping the front windshield. Pumps don't sound strained, it all seems totally normal.
Any idea why the jets initially don't work? It sounds like just a dodgy connector/fuse/control board as the pumps do work and there are no blockages.
One other question, are the headlight washer jets for the xenon lights meant to spray one at a time (Drivers side first then passenger side) or both at the same time?
Thanks!
