It is possible to suspect that the washer nozzles are working poorly by the type of jet pouring on the glass. If its pressure significantly decreases, decreases, or even disappears altogether, it's time to figure out what the reason is. Perhaps the nozzles are just clogged.
Necessary
Compressor, large syringe, thin metal string, pin, needle, soap, water
Instructions
Step 1
First check if there is liquid in the reservoir. If it is full, revise the entire system to exclude other possible problems. It is more convenient to do this together. One examines, the other presses the lever of the steering column washer switch. Be sure to listen to the washer motor humming. After making sure that it works, find under the hood the place where the tubes coming from the electric pump to the nozzles join. Remove these hoses from the injectors. Check if the tubes are not clogged by pressing the washer lever. If the washer fluid flows from them, then you will have to clean the nozzles.
Step 2
Remove dirt from the nozzle by flushing. Disconnect the supply hose. Fill a large syringe with water. Flush the nozzle in the opposite direction with a syringe stream. All contamination will spill out along with the water from the opposite side.
Step 3
Alternatively, use a thin metal string, such as a guitar, or a pin, and a needle to carefully clean the jet hole as deep as possible. Then rinse the nozzle with a stream of water from a syringe.
Step 4
Another original suggestion is to blow the jet with a strong air pressure. Insert a syringe into the nozzle with the tubes removed and sharply squeeze the air out of it. Or use a car compressor connected to the cigarette lighter for the same purpose.
Step 5
If none of the above helped, you cannot do without disassembly. To clean the jet properly, remove the device from the machine. Raise the hood. Disconnect the hoses. Squeeze the nozzle petals from the inside and carefully pull the paint out to avoid damaging the paint.
Step 6
Soak the nozzle in soapy water overnight. Then rinse well. If the device is disassembled, remove the end sleeve. Remove the spring and ball. Rinse everything thoroughly, blow through and collect again.
Step 7
Install the injectors in the reverse order of removal.
Step 8
Contact a car service. Experts for a reasonable price will check your entire windscreen washer system and troubleshoot.
