    Cleaning Windscreen washer jet nozzles

    Please, does anyone have any tips for cleaning the heated windscreen washer jets, the ones on the 2.8 that I have just bought are completely blocked up presumably with mineral deposits caused by the heating of the water ?

    1) fine wire; or 2) remove from car & soak in Limeaway or the equivalent.

    Compressed air__used cautiously__ will do a nice job too.

    I suppose it depends on what the blockage is, but I've had it work on a few people's cars.

    I pull the hose off the pump (at the reservoir) and shoot from there.

    I just gave up and bought new ones. They are reasonably priced, and I switched to micro screw-type hose clamps at the same time.

    Sometimes a small needle will work if the blockage is in the jets.
