Washer jet bad performance

Post by Springs »

hi all,

my washer jets started to perform badly. thinking it was low on fluid i topped it up but it never got any better, some time later, again i thought it was running low so i looked to topped it up again but it was full.

performance wise, it just seems to squirt over to the passengers side and not a fan spray as it should be. the rear seems to be fine

trying to get a video up of the issue to show the issue

any ideas?

Sounds like the jets are blocked or partially obstructed. I would get a pin and poke it into the nozzle to see if it is that.

What washer fluid are you using? Some types can block the nozzles.

The VW stuff is very good and is for fan jets.
