prometheus Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Anyone know a quick fix for this problem? It started to stop squirting from 2 of the holes, then the other day none on the passenger one at all, I tried the old pin in the nozzle trick but still no water coming out. So now I have have a clean windscreen all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Fairly easy fix mate... You need to remove some of the cowling from around the drivers side of the windscreen (sounds worse than it really is) and then work your way back from the wipers, and find the tubes which supply the water. You may need to unhook them from underneath the cowling, along the bottom of the windscreen. There is like a Y join in the pipes at some point, which is a non-return valve. This is known to get clogged up from time to time, so pull the tubes apart at this point and try to clean it. Keep giving your washers a blast and you should see the water coming through easier once you've unblocked it. Probably about 30mins total work pal.

prometheus Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Cheers marzman, will give that a rattle at some stage during the week, and will let you know how I get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prometheus Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Only got a chance to check out the passenger washer, turns out it was both heads that were totally blocked, tried my best to get them unblocked, manged to get the lower one done but the top one is totally refusing to clear. Any idea on how to clean them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUTO EXPRESS Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 ask your local garage to quickly blow out washers using the airline to unblock the holes. 2 second fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
