Wiper washer removal ?

[nicodache]

I got some schmutz stuck in my driver side windshiel wiper washer nozzle, and it's bately spraying anymore.

Anyone managed to remove their washer nozzle without removing the wiper arms and the cowl ?

twice. both ways (from inside the engine bay out, and from the nozzle back in, with the hose disconnected).
No luck :/

Needle. Poke the hole

There is actually a handy little tool for that purpose, check ebay. Mine did the same thing a while back, once I stopped using the detergent additive it cleared itself. Must've been a dodgy batch, had to take the bottle out of the wifes Hyundai and clean it as it started growing some slimy shit that clogged hers totally.

Funny, that was the one I found and was going to buy unless you're was better! Turns out it was the same.

lol Yeah expensive way to do it when finding a thin stiff bit of wire would suffice, but nice to have an actual tool ey

I poked the hole to no avail. I suspect it's blocked by some s*t at the nozzle entrance (under the cowl) and not inside the nozzle.

Pending delivery of a new nozzle (don't want to remove the cowl and put it back in to figure out I didn't clean it properly, or is legit damaged, and have to remove cowl again).

Will keep you posted

I know this is old, but google brought it up as part of my washer cover search.
Did you ever fix it?
I should have asked if the pump is working, and have you removed the pipe from the jet and tested it, to ensure it is the jet being blocked.

Yeah so I removed it twice since, and ended up discovering that one of the reasons I had issue with the spray was this (new on the left, OG on the right).



The hose routing (EU driver side is a T-piece) made it so that the little pressure from the dying pump was not sufficient to go through both restrictive washers.

Now, I still have crap inside the washer (so its still sprays all wonky), but I got enough washer fluid when needed.
