Problems with the washer jets.

Post by DoDaniel »

The other day I went to use the back washer jet to clear some dirt off the back screen and noticed that it didn't work. I have come to believe that the back washer jet is just blocked but there doesn't seem to be anything blocking it when a closer inspection is taken.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be done to resolve this problem?

Many thanks

I checked how much washer fluid I had when I opened up the bonnet and there was plenty in there. I don't know if the pipe is broken, I'll have to check that out later on.

Easy way to solve this and usually 90% of the time the issue with all cars get a pin and stick it in the washer jet holes wiggle it around and try them again you can align them with the same pin also by the way so the spray is hitting where you want it to. If you can hear the water pump running when you press the window washer on it's more than likely to just be the washer jet being blocked.

i have known them to brake around the same point where your hinge is for your boot at the top and then wet all the inside of your pillars, give the passenger side a feel and see what its like.

Success, tried putting a pin into the washer jet at the back and it worked. Re-aligned it and everything, glad that it works now as there have been so many time when I needed it.

Thanks for your help :)

Your welcome one thing with cars is people tend to overcomplicate things I do it myself, sometimes it comes down to a simple pin lol.

Anyway glad it's working. :)
