Didn't realise there were so many ways to clear a blocked washer nozzle. Good fixes for those annoying times when the jets either don't work at all or spray in the wrong direction. Thanks for heads-up.

No problem, RDT.

Something to add preceding all of the great unblocking tips would be to check the water reservoir is not empty. If there is no water in the reservoir it may appear to be blocked, many thanks and contrafibularites Jason 😊

Hello Stephen.Well explained and thankyou.When I was younger I remember a neigbour had this trouble with his old Cortina.He resorted to using Drain Cleaner and agitation which worked well.Be wary and protect your eyes and hands.

Great explanation - and entertaining! On my old Getz the nozzles were clear, but there was an airlock or something in the main tube: blowing down it and running the pump while blocking and unblocking pipe with my thumb fixed things. I would have hesitated to pull off pipes until seeing your video! Appreciated.

Hahaha i thought i was the only one who used a sewing needle to clear the washer jets. When i go at it from the underneath i wedge a drinking straw over the port and blow through it to clear it. I might try the dental brush next time! 🤣🤣🤣

And I might try a straw! Good idea.

Why not try the washers with the pipe disconnected to see if washer fluid is flowing to the jets before assuming it’s the nozzles?

@CarSpyTV 5 ай бұрын

That's certainly a good way to confirm the pump, switch, fuse, and tubes work before clearing the jets. Best wishes from CarSpyTV.

Instead of water, it might be better using white vinegar. That'll make a proper reaction. Let it work overnight and no more clogging.

Yes, it has. I suppose how badly bunged up the jets are. Along with the needle, it’s probably a good first option.
