My rear Washer doesnt produce any water although the front ones work fine and the motor is running???
any ideas??
any ideas??
Hi Mate,
This is really quite common. I would suggest the following:-
• Remove the housing around the jet on your rear wiper. (Careful as the plastic might be a bit brittle when you unclip) or if possible it should just hinge upwards giving you access to the jet nozzle
• Use some pliers to hold the jet, gently twist and pull and it should come out.
• Use a needle to clear any obstructions from the top and bottom of the nozzle
• Try the washer with the nozzle removed, it should just squirt out freely, and should also clear the pipes
• Replace the nozzle by just pushing back into the hole, replace housing.
• Try the washer again, it should work fine, you may need to adjust the direction of the jet with your needle.
I wanted to spare you the heartache because I spent 2 hours and plenty o broken clips removing all my boot lid trim trying to trace the hose, then my dad turned up and cleaned the nozzle in 5 minutes flat.
Good Luck
Emma's EP2 has a blocked rear jet.
I've just removed it and its completely blocked at the nozzle. I've tried coke, lime scale remover and nothing will shift it.
Looks like I'll have to order a new one.
This sounds really crazy but if the whole jet is metal, set fire to it with some petrol and let it burn for a few minutes (obviously in a controlled environment!).
When it is cool, any obstruction (wax, algae etc) should be gone
My motorcycle mechanic pal swears by this method.
