Lower pressure in windscreen washer jets
Have had this issue for the last 6 months or so where the windscreen washer jets (mainly the passenger side) has hardly any pressure in them at all.....
at first i though it was just a blockage tried a sewing needle and poke it down the 2 holes on each jet, opened the bonnet and disconnected the tubes going to the jets but they are clear also, even with the tube disconnected from the jets theres not a lot of water coming out of the tubes.
Any ideas what the issue could be, could it be the pump failing at all???

Dead easy. Cost about £10 or less.
Before doing it, I'd remove the jets, soak in warm water and a bit of washing up liquid, then blow through them in the reverse direction.

Thanks for the suggestions ill give them a go
Hmm im not so sure, as when i initially press the wash it seems to have the pressure and then dies off almost straight away, surely if it was a blockage it would be weak all the time?. Also if im moving at any decent speed it doesn't seem to work at all and just literally dribbles out

Not everything is advertised on the bay - why not ask a dealer the UK price.
In Germany it goes for about €44
Have you ACTUALLY removed the old one and tested it??
