Window Washer

northdubgal

I have a slight blockage in my window water reservoir and just seeing if there is anything I can get or do to get this back to normal working conditions?

Only a small amount of water comes out and there is a slight delay before it does comes out..

R.O.R

Get a thin pin and carefully put it in where the water comes out. Should clear any blockage in tha area.

If you open the bonnet and see where the pipes underneath meet the jets on the top of the bonnet it's usually fairly easy to remove them. If you can do this I'd leave them disconnected and see if water is coming out of them at a decent rate. Pipe might be blocked - without them connected it might clear a blockage.

It depends on the car whether you can easily access the pipes under the bonnet though -what car is it?

I think the actual washer fluid is after gunking up my rear window washer.

Need to dismantle the boot door and investigate
