One jet blocked as blocked can be, tried the needle approach without success. does the block with the two jets remove easily or is there another way, small drill bit maybe ?

If you don't have an air line try a single strand of wire brush. Pull it out with a pair of pliers and do the honours. Normally works quite well unless the jet has been blocked for a long period of time.

Kind regards

Re: Winndscreen washer jets

Had some blockage on mine from a dirty tank earlier on, it is very annoying when just on one side! Anyway long story short I bought a new one and the improvement is immense..only clean the tank before you fit it so you don't repeat the problem again!
Can't quite remember the cost, but was near £12 I think?
Remember this one's heated and all...

The nozzle does remove from the bonnet fairly easily. You need to remove the electric cable and water pipe.
Rummage through Dawny's sewing basket until you find a needle of the correct size to slid right inside the nozzle. It should go in 5mm or so. Also stick an airline on it from both sides. I used a tyre pump with various adapters and blew it all clean. The nozzles should be free to move around too
