Is anyone else having problems with the washers?
Mine stopped working last week despite having -10°C fluid in.
I cannot hear the pump working for the front or the rear so I suspected a blown fuse, however there doesn't seem to be a fuse listed.

Any help appreciated.

I don't know about the fuse situation but yesterday I used up the fluid that was in my car from new, which had been flowing just fine, and filled it up with just some stuff I had in my garage, and this morning it has been freezing on the windscreen and now the jets appear to be frozen up.
So, I will definitely need to change to a different fluid.

Mine has frozen, no insulation under the bonnet and no residual heat from the engine doesn’t help! Not sure if any part of the washer system is heated but looks like they’ll stay frozen until the ambient temp gets back above zero

Mine has been really good through the past week or so of low temps (bearing in mind I leave my house at 6:00 each morning), not frozen at all, wipers have been smooth and quiet - until I changed the washer fluid..............

Hmm. Theres a common thread here.
Mines was working, but not great on the original factory BMW stuff and now that I've filled it with Halfords finest it's stopped.
Maybe my windscreen washer subscription has expired.

There was a thread on the X3 forum where owners with faulty washers had their warranty invalidated by the use of non-BMW washer fluid!

I would have fought that one though. There is certainly nothing in the warranty or handbook requiring the use of overpriced BMW fluids.
