Toby 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Does anyone know why my windscreen washers might not be working properly? One jet on the passenger side (the furthest one away from me predictably) seems to be ok but all the others just come out as a trickle (not handy when flying down the M40 on sunday with a windscreen covered in salt) - the jets aren't blocked and the water reservoir is full.

Nerih 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 check the water pipes for kinks and leaks, check the pump fires properly...only thingi can think of, intersestingly, check there is no water coming out the back when u want water at the front....

Toby 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 thanks, there's no rear wash wipe anymore so should all be going to the front... Link to post Share on other sites
badboyV6 4 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Is the actual jet blocked at all? Try and clean the jet itself if your getting decent pressure to the jet . Link to post Share on other sites
Toby 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 as far as I can tell the jet isn't blocked but think I'll have a proper look at all the pipes and see if there are any blockages or kinks. I couldn't see anything straight off but might need a more detailed look! Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 u could try unplugging the pipe from the washer jet and see what happens Link to post Share on other sites
Toby 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I'll give it a go. thanks Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 mine was like that, one of the two jets just didn't work since i got the car so just replaced the unit and has worked fine ever since Link to post Share on other sites
Toby 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 which part did you replace then? Was it just the washer jet itself rather than all the pipes as well? Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 let me know if you need any bits as I've just taken the washer jets off mine Link to post Share on other sites
Toby 0 Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 thanks, I will. I'll have a play around with it first and give you a shout if i need anything. Link to post Share on other sites
