    Talking Windscreen washer jets...

    Hi Guys, can you help?
    My front screen jets werent working well and i was getting dirty smear from the water that did come through.
    The reservoir was full of gunge/filth so I took it out, cleaned it and emptied it. I then cleared through all the tubing and pushed a pin through the jet holes.
    Now everything is reconnected and the reservoir has clean water in it but nothing is coming through at all. Not even the small squirt I had before.
    I can here the motor/pump going and i checked the tubes and jet holes again.
    Whats going on?
    What should I do?
    Thanks in advance

    Either the nozzles are plugged or the tubing is. Disconnect the tubing from each nozzle and see if you get flow there. Then you'll know whether the problem is in the supply or nozzle. If the nozzles are the problem, blow them out (backwards) with compressed air with the tubing disconnected.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

    pull the washer motor out of the bottle and look at the bottom of it where it sucks up they tend to suck some crap up, unfortunately it was the last place i looked when it happened on mine
