Removing and installing spray nozzle holder - vehicles as of MY 09
  Caution
The spray nozzles should not be pulled out by hand.
Depending on the version, the pulled out cylinder piston can tilt during the return stroke.
It is not allowed to insert the cylinder piston by hand as this results in damage to the lift cylinder for the headlamp cleaning system.
A jammed piston in the cylinder becomes functional if it is activated by the system which is determined for this, i.e by water pressure.
Only move out the spray nozzles by water or air pressure.
Removing
–  Push out the spray nozzles by means of fluid pressure or compressed air and then collect (second mechanic is required). Do not pull out by hand!
   
–  Press off the catch -arrow A- using a small screwdriver and push the spray nozzle holder -2- with the cover -1- out of the lift cylinder -3-.
–  If necessary, loosen the cover of the spray nozzles -1- from the catches -arrows B- and remove.
Install
  Note

Catches on the spray nozzle are intended to push the cover for the spray nozzle holder into the bumper as far as possible. If the spray nozzle holder is pushed too far into the lift cylinder for spray nozzles, the cover or the bumper can be deformed. If the spray nozzle holder is pushed in a little, there is a gap between the cover and the bumper.
–  Clip cover onto the holder.
–  Push the holder with cover into the lift cylinder for spray nozzles until the cover is tightly fit on the bumper.
–  After installing the holder bleed the headlamp cleaning system → Chapter.
