Is that even possible in Canada. On the online build your own site, it says its a standard option and cannot be deselected.

Neutrino45 · 03-23-2011, 11:54 PM

hey, you can code your car to disable the washer function.

stega · 03-24-2011, 12:44 AM

I think you can it just costs money to remove stuff.
Thats what my SA was telling me, he could be wrong.

stega · 09-17-2011, 07:06 PM

Bump...

Anyone? I am looking to remove the lines, pump and whatever else is part of the headlight washer system...

driverwannabe · 09-17-2011, 08:05 PM

Just hot glue the tip shut.

In some countries, headlight washers are mandatory if you have xenon headlights.

Just ruins the clean look of the car!

They have come in handy on occasion on my E46 m3. Although I JUST encountered the washers the other day in my e92 and those things are out of control. Shot fluid all over the hood lol.. Guess I'll make sure my headlights are off next time.

Boostin FD · 09-17-2011, 09:40 PM

I disabled mine with coding. Easy and no more washers ;-)

Nautiluz · 09-19-2011, 10:27 PM

Removed mine when I installed the Vorsteiner GTS3 front fender. Got rid of washers and hoses and removed a fuse behind the glove compartment. Washers on the windscreen still works fine

aus · 09-19-2011, 11:01 PM

You remember which fuse it was you took out?

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??"
