Front washer jet problems

[kamion]

Anyone having front water jet problems? Some times, they don't work for me. I have to switch the engine off, wait a while, switch the ignition back on, and then they'll work. Some times I have to repeat this a couple times. I can hear the pump or motor or whatever whirring when I pull on the lever, but no water. The one at the back works just fine.

Where the pipes split into each jet is a none-return valve, carefully open it up taking care not to lose any bits. Inside is a diaphragm, if there is a bit of crap in this holding it open all the water in the pipes will drain all the wall back to the washer bottle and it will take a while before any comes out of the jets. :wink:

And then change the standard jets for Honda Jazz ones....so much better

Thanks. I'll check out that non-return valve.
