My windshield washer jets are spraying any washer fluid on to screen. Any ideas?



  Renault Clio 1.2 16v

When I do use the washer function, a very little amount of water comes out the end of the jets, but just falls down the bonnet. A bit like a not quite turned off tap.

I’ve tried to use a pin to clear any blockages but nothing came of it.

the pump definitely works as I can hear it when I’m using the function.

any idea what it could be and is it a big job / expensive one?

Any fluid? lol

I think there is something inside the fluid bottle that can block, a filter of some sort. Have a search on here as I think it's a common fault.

Prop just need new washer jets.

Just did one on MX5 earlier this year. Bit of a pain as windscreen scuttle needed removed.

I think there is some kind of valve in the jets that can get gunked up.

common problem of the rubber expanding over time
