Hi, I took my car to my local garage to replace my air con compressor only to find that my windscreen washer jets are back to front. What I mean is that when I trigger the front windscreen washers, the rear windscreen washer turn on instead of the front.

And when I trigger the rear washers, the front washers turn on instead of the rear. I am thinking they may have put the hoses in back to front.

Please could you advise how I can swap them back round again

Thanks in advance

The same reservoir is used for front and rear windscreen cleaning. That says to me that either the tech reversed the electrical or hose connections (most likely). I've no experience with the X5 in this regard, but it's only small diameter hose. Identify the reservoir under the hood, identify the pump(s), and reverse the hose connections.
