Windscreen Washers

[mr toy ota]

Windscreen washer jets not working very well when operated, only a trickle of water comes out. I have tried cleaning the jets with a pin but this only worked for a few mins, is there a filter on the pump that will need cleaning and if so how. Or any other suggestions?

Maybe removing them and blowing them out with a pump or a set of strong lungs!! :D

Nah, seriously tho, pushing a pin in will only block them up even more, Try some very thin wire or soak them in hot water?? Maybe.

Maybe check how powerful the supply is before entering the jets. If its ok, then definately a jet prob. If the supply is pants, possibly a blockage in the pipe or the supply motor filter is blocked.

take off the jets. take a spin down to your local garage, use the airline provided for pumping tyres to blow any dirt out of them... should do the trick.
