Does anyone have an idea about the operating pressure of a headlamp washer pump (or even a windscreen washer pump)?

Given the right nozzles, could it be persuaded to work at 3 bar or so?

Thanks

What do you want to use it for?
I use one for water spray on my rally car.
If using other nozzles & increasing the pressure, make sure you have the hose nice & tight, or it will blow it off, I learnt from experiance.

Headlamp pumps I have used in the past for WI, have exceeded 3bar without any difficulty. Think i did test it once at around 80psi, which is over 5 bar.
