Headlamp washer pipes.

Andyd99 · 10th May 2012, 23:11

When I picked up my 2004 crv, I noticed the headlamp washers not working. Had a nose around, and found the pipes not connected to the h/lamp washers. Anyhow connected them back up, only to find that they seem to blow off again every couple of days. The pipes connect ok, and secure in, but seems to be to much pressure to keep them connected. Any suggestions?

maybe try to buy new connectors for the pipes or perhaps some jubilee clips on the joint may work

Good shout, unfortunately don't think there's enough room for any kind of clip/cable tie, as I can only just get my hand in there!!!

Can you not even get the smaller hose clamps on there (like the ones that are on the coolant pipes etc)?

had you removed the bumper before you reconnected hoses? if not it may give better insight as to what can be done.

Wipe the connections with some de-greaser maybe?
Rough them up with some sandpaper to give it a bit more grip.

Check see if the jets are clear. If there's a blockage limiting the flow it will cause excess pressure and blow the hoses off.
