Windscreen washer jets (mods, move if needed)



  BMW E46 330i Touring
My washer jets aren't working properly...

Firstly, the rear's fine and the water doesn't seem to be leaking anywhere, as the bottle stays full despite 'attempting' to use the washers loads, but there is absolutely no presuure coming out of the front jets. Occasionally it'll squirt onto the windscreen for a second or two, but then it'll just dribble out... ;)

It is a simple case of a blocked pipe somewhere? Heard of it before? I find the washer pipes really hard to get to and track all the way as they disappear through the bonnet, so don't know if they are blocked somewhere where I can't see...

Get down to a mechanic's who has a compressor.

There is some way of blowing air through the lines at high pressure to push out any blockages. Think they take the washerjets off and blow it towards the washer fluid tank.

I know the guy we always go to sorted a blockage in Dads car this way - worked perfectly afterwards :)
