Does anyone have any suggestions as what i can put int he washer bottle to clean it out. It really is dirty, its the normal white plastic one but inside is almost black (was like that when i got car). The problem is its beginning to clog the washer jets and it a real pain when they suddenly stop working........ :cry:

Use a higher concentration of screenwash, see how that goes.

If it\'s really bad then just buy a new one or take a trip to the scrapyard. Be careful when removing the motor as the pipes attached to it have a habit of breaking.

Take it out and clean it with hot water.
Avoid using washing up liquid as it reacts with screenwash and forms a gel, which then clogs everything.
Possibly try bicarbonate of soda and vinegar?
Good oldskool cleaning method.
