Headlight washer hose routing

rabbituk · Mar 6th, 2023, 11:17

I need to replace the piece of hose that goes from the check valve to the RHS washer, however the routing of the hose that feeds the check valve doesn't look correct as it loops underneath the bumper. The mechanic I use is great but does occasionally put things back slightly differently so I'm wondering if when the bumper was replaced or the headlights were replaced, the hose was re-routed. In the following photo, the feed line is horizontal so I'm just wondering where it goes from there? Perhaps somebody has a photo of that area with the RHS headlight removed.

Some photos of my car and how it is...

I cannot answer the question fully, but can confirm that my C70 is exactly as shown in the pelican parts photo.

When I removed the front bumper a couple of years ago for repainting, I didn't have any issues with the washer pipe being in the way - the whole bumper was removed including the crash bar. No photos unfortunately, but yours definitely isn't correct.
