2. The window cleaning system according to claim 1 , wherein the washing fluid line has a respective plug-type coupling part at each end, and the washing fluid pump and the washing nozzle each have a bushing-type coupling part.

3. The window cleaning system according to claim 1 , wherein only the bushing-type coupling part comprises movable components and sealing rings.

4. The window cleaning system according to claim 1 , wherein the washing fluid line is manufactured from plastic by injection molding or extrusion.

5. The window cleaning system according to claim 1 , comprising four latching hooks arranged at angles of 90 degrees around a circumference of the annular element.

6. The window cleaning system according to claim 1 , further comprising a sealing ring which is designed as a radial sealing ring and bears against the outer circumference of the plug-type coupling part.

7. The window cleaning system according to claim 1 , wherein the bushing-type coupling part has a tubular basic body, wherein a sealing ring and said annular element comprising the plurality of latching hooks are arranged on the inside of the tubular basic body, and the sleeve together with the compression spring element is arranged on the outside of the basic body.

8. The window cleaning system according to claim 1 , wherein each latching hook is formed integrally within the annular element by a respective U-shaped cut-out in the annular element.

9. A window cleaning system for a motor vehicle, comprising

a washing fluid pump for conveying washing fluid,

at least one washing nozzle for spraying washing fluid,

at least one washing fluid line leading from the washing fluid pump to the washing nozzle, and

a coupling for connecting the washing fluid line to the washing fluid pump,

wherein the coupling has a plug-type coupling part and a bushing-type coupling part for receiving the plug-type coupling part,

wherein the washing fluid line together with the plug-type coupling part forms a single piece, and

wherein the plug-type coupling part comprises an encircling collar having a tapered leading surface and a non-tapered trailing mating surface, and the bushing-type coupling part comprises an annular element receiving the plug-type coupling part, wherein the annular element comprises a plurality of latching hooks integral with said annular element which engages behind the collar, each latching hook having a tapered leading surface and a non-tapered trailing mating surface,

wherein the tapered leading surface of each latching hook is configured to engage with the tapered leading surface of the encircling collar during insertion of the plug-type coupling part in the bushing-type coupling part, and

wherein the non-tapered trailing surface of each latching hook being configured to engage with the non-tapered trailing surface of the encircling collar such that the engagement between the respective non-tapered trailing surfaces of the latching hooks and the encircling collar resist axial removal of the plug-type coupling part from the bushing-type coupling part;

wherein the bushing-type coupling part has a displaceable sleeve, and the displaceable sleeve is prestressed by a compression spring element into a position supporting the latching hooks and wherein the compression spring element has windings integrally formed with the displaceable sleeve on one side and in contact with the annular element on another side.
