weird washer problem
- Thread starter jaye
- Start date
I had all four jets on mine block just before my MOT last year, remove the pipe at the jet and if the water is getting that far the jet are the problem, either clean with a pin or get replacements.
also worth checking, that the feed pipe to the washer jets isnt bent, where the bonnet hinge is. I has this problem, they worked when bonnet was up, but not down. The pipe got crimped, so to speak when the bonnet was closed.
no worries fella
outta curiosity are they difficult to swap out, are they clip in clip outs?
and are they expensive,
assume ones from a breakers will be worn out ones as well ?

There is a little clip on the underside, just use a flat bladed screwdriver to move it to one side then the jet will pop out, they are a couple of quid for new ones or you could get some from a breakers yard.
couple of quid for new jets at the most from a motor factors i would have thought?
They're a pound each from vaux last time I got some for a customer
tell you summing, take the pump out all together and you will see a small black bit of rubber take that out it WILL be cloged and slow//stop water from going any where, wash the gunge off it and you will also see lot's of black gundge in the bottom of the washer bottel 
hmm, problem sorted
