ok, so when this happened I had to replace the jets and cables and pipes all in one .... anyway all been ok until today when I ran out of water and filled up.Then the jets just put out water so slow.
The tank is gunged up with sludge and needs taking out and cleaning.
I thought I had prevented this by using Sonar washer concenrated washer cleaner, but I have ordered BMW tablets to water down now.

Hi Tally! Do you know how to disassemble the water tank? I can annex the manuals from ISTA. Unfortunately, it's trickier than expected.
