window washers 'spurting' water down bonnet

[_Kenny_]

That time of year when you need your washers to be working 24/7 and today they start playing up.

Checked all connections and put a pin in the washers to make sure they weren't blocked at that end at least.

Water seems to be coming out but the water just treakles down the bonnet.

Any ideas/suggestions of what could be wrong?

take the pipe of the back see how much fluid comes out when you press it if its alot then proberly just jets if its not that much possible pump.

pipe that is underneath the bonnet mate?

 

[lemonnobby]

yea the pipe at the back of the jet take it off see if you have a good feed to the jet.

i had same problem not long ago. used a pin....nothing.

then someone suggesed boiling hot water through the system. was a bit scared to use boiling because of the rubber pipes, so jut hot water. and it worked!!! apparently the washer fluid gets conjealed and blocks the jets. so just a little hot water and couple of hours of sitting there spraying and it was sorted.

id check that first also!

Ta Normy. Put warmish water through the system last night but still just the same. I'll try hotter water and spraying more tonight!

Mine was doing the same and i took it to Arnold C and they blasted it with a air gun. Which umblocked it till just recently so i went an bought this high concentrated washer fluid. An adjusted the pins and it has never worked so well.
