Drip drip drip

Evening folks

As some of you know i have recently purchased an R170 slk for the summer
I have noticed dripping water from under the front bumper At first i thought the rad had a leak but having a closer look underneath i discovered it is the headlamp wash nozzle (the ones that pop out) that was leaking and emptying the washer bottle in about a week.

Have any of the guru,s on here heard of or had this problem????????

I guess tommorow i will see if i can get a closer look buy removeing the headlamp.

Thats my weekend gone already.

Perished tubing?

Not read of this before. Perhaps just needs 1/2" cut from tubing and pushing back on the nozzle?

Headlamp washers?? SLK's don't have this?? well my 2 don't, what year is this? Tubing going to the light units are usually for the vacuum control on the levelling system - which shouldn't have any water coming from it?

Water bottles splitting is common on most MB's

Mine has not got this either, but the one in Haynes museum does have them.

Itl probably be the nozzle itself leaking,theres a couple of o ring inside it or the pipe as mentioned.

headlamp washer

I removed the headlamp to gain more access to the headlamp cleaning jet.The unit seemed to be leaking at a joint and it looks like a sealed unit.I put a small bead of bathroom sealer around where it comes apart during manufacture so hopefully its fixed now.


Just that elusive mirror glass to be found now.

And what glass would that be

mirror glass

Drivers side heated and dimming with a squareish plug.Nick had one but it had the oval connector on.
Tried Mercman/dronsfield/PcMerc all no good.
