Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi As the sun was out, I took out the 911 . I found that when I try to wash the headlights I would see a great big puddle of green screen wash under the right front wheel. Any ideas where this is from or has anyone had the same problem. Thanks :thumbs:

POST 2Original post

It's most likely to be the headlamp washer needs replacing .. very common for them to leak after not being used for a long time . Might be unplugged though .. you need to have a look .

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, How do I remove and refit a new one?

POST 4Original post

All headlamp washers are attached to the bumper ( PU ) in some way .. i would remove the headlight that side and see if i could undo it .. failing that i would remove the bumper and replace .. Working on every model of Porsche and i'm afraid i don't remember specific item replacements .. If the water is coming out behind the arch lining o/s/f then i personally would remove that then operate the washers to confirm where its leaking from .. i've seen these unplugged before and usually after a body shop has been near a car !! Workshop manual is here and it's all i have at home .. http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=83491

Much appreciated. Will go to work on it tomorrow.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
