windscreen washer jets not working??

[inFOCUS]

When you hit the washer jets you get the slightest bubble of liquid coming from the nozzles. I have put a new pump in, taken the nozzles out and cleaned them in hot water and checked the pipes, when you run the pump water comes out the pipes but dosn't seem to have enough pressure to spray the screen????????

any ideas folks??

hook them up 2 an air line and blow thro the system

If the airline doesn't work, and youve got a steady hand, you could carefully prize the metal balls out of the washer jets with a pin. you might find loads of gunk inside of them that needs cleaned out. I've seen stuff in there before that was too hard to blow out with an airline.

I had this problem too. All i did was use the pin idea. Mine was full of polish which after so long had eventually blocked it up. Needed to do it for my mot today. Passed with flying colours.

Some cars have a one way valve in the washer line to stop it draining back...this can become kaput, I just usually run an 1/8 drill bit through them. Also filters get blocked up
