I recently helped my neighbour remove the unit from his 1996 w124 300.
The washer unit is secured to the back of the headlmap unit.
On my 1989 w124 e230, this is seperate to the headlamp.
From memory, first remove the wiper arm and disconnect the rubber water pipe from its nipple. Remove the bottom headlight trim panel screw and remove cover.
Remove the indicator corner unit , this unit is held in place by the plastic "tongue" which forms part of the indicator body.
Gently squeeze the tongues together and the unit should come out.
The headlamp unit is held by three screws.
The wiring connector for the washer unit will require removing.
We found one of the two "tags" securing the back of the motor cover had broken.
This has part of the operating arm mechanism built into it, and therefore the unit stopped working. A cleandown, and a reasonable "Heath-Robinson repair, and now works fine again.
