Heated windscreen washer nozzle leaking

[AW8]

As title...........leak coming directly from base of same on drivers side.

when washers activated fluid leaks from hole in bottom of that nozzle.

Nearside nozzle underside has a light coloured plug/bung but the leaking part does not have same.

The part is currently removed and after some examination I have found that it comes apart. I have siliconed the leaking aperture but not confident this will hold......silicone currently setting.

Looked on relaoem and part number is 61667000119 ............listed for entire heated nozzle only.


I plan to sort  this by buying universal connector pipe/junction & swapping it out. Failing this a new or salvage heated nozzle.

Wanted to sort this sooner rather than later but very until weekend plus working Christmas


Anyone had similar issue(s).....................Thoughts ?

i had the same issue at the time i bought the car.

there was a nice round hole at the bottom of that nozzle releasing fluid in the direction of the engine, which was covered in teh other nozzle. it must be some safety release plug that had come off.

i glued it up... can't remember with what, probably silicon, thought id replace it if it became a problem again, it didn't and the nozzles are working fine and i had forgotten about it until now.

Great.............thanks for replying


Thats it , looks like a missing grommet/bung.

Will give silicone 24hrs  and see how that goes if not try smearing a little superglue or other d.i.y.
