    Washer Jets?

    Mine seem to be getting a bit tired in their old age and not really squiting very high up the windscreen, what would need replacing, is it the pump or the little jets themselves?

    Cheers

    Try blowing up the pipe with compressed air.

    Mine started doing fack all Danny after I had my new 'screen in. I disconnected everything and checked the pumps. Then I blew down the pipes. When I reconnected everything they were powerful as fook!

    will have to give that a try too then, is it an easy job then to take the pipes off and clean them out?

    Just unclip the plastic scuttle, turn it over and disconnect the washer pipe from the pump. Then just blow hard!
