Windscreen washers clogging up?
« on: 09 February 2009, 10:27:42 »
Does anyone else have this problem? I've cleaned the reserve out, got the filter which is totally clean...

Passenger side always works, drivers side has stopped squirting altogether. Put new nozzles in about 6 months ago...

Any thoughts and repairs?

Blast through with an air line? Becarefull at theis time of year when you're dismantling plastic pipework, the plastic can become brittle in the cold ..... been there ... done that! :(  :y  :y  :y

Probably got some muck (or even ice) in the jet assembly.
Pay particular attention to the pipework bends and elbows too.
The restriction is probably between the T-connector and jet assembly.
Use screen-wash additive all the time too!
