If I'm going to have xenons, I will have to fit headlight wash/wipe.
I have spoken to several breakers and they all said they can't help me so it looks like I might have to get brand new items.
With help from the stealership parts guy I have got this list made up:
202 869 00 21 : pump : £10.38
123 997 36 81 : grommit : £0.18
010 997 89 82 : hose : £1.01
000 860 08 62 : check valve : £8.12
202 820 37 42 : LHS motor : £135.51
202 820 38 42 : RHS motor : £135.51
202 820 05 45 : LHS blade : £7.83
202 820 06 45 : RHS blade : £7.83
202 820 11 44 : LHS arm : £23.64
202 820 12 44 : RHS arm : £23.64
140 824 03 49 : LHS wiper cap : £2.65
140 824 04 49 : RHS wiper cap : £2.65
000 824 21 15 : wiper pin : £0.58 (need 2)
202 540 67 33 : cable harness : £55.59
The total for these items is £415.70, which including VAT is £488.45 ($784.42 USD). That's NOT cheap! :(
I asked which parts were needed to add headlamp wash to w210 pre-facelift models (same parts for all w210 and w208):
210 860 21 60 : reservoir : £6.55
210 869 03 21 : pump : £34.24
170 869 00 94 : hose : £2.43
000 869 16 22 : connector/distributor : £2.61
210 860 05 47 : LHS nozzles : £35.46
210 860 06 47 : RHS nozzles : £35.46
210 820 22 10 : switch : £12.07
210 540 76 35 : harness : £20
This only comes to £148.82, £174.86 including VAT, in USD that's $280.77. Almost cheap in comparison! :)
Does anyone think that it's possible to fit the w210 headlight wash units to the under-headlight strip on the w202? Is there a big enough gap there (the units are not as big as the end pieces) ? How about if they were fitted to the bumper? They're so much cheaper and have less parts (less complicated) and no wiper blades are needed etc, plus wipers are old-school now and all new MB and new other brands have wash but no wipe.
I still don't see how they work, does the water pressure push the washers out then or what? :)
Any clever ideas? I think they'd be great on a w202 :D
