Washer Jets not Squirting Properly

[Ben_L]

Hi all, a small washer jet problem. Theres water and screen wash in the resevoir but when i pull the stalk to make them squirt it just trickles out of the washer. Whats that all about?

I've tried puttin a needle in the hole to free up any shit that might be in it but it still trickles. Its a bit irritating at this time of year with the windscreen needing cleaning every 2 seconds...Any ideas? Cheers all

could be a partly blocked pipe

get some thin wire and poke it all the way down the hole.

can you here the motor trying to qork when you try putting them on?

Blocked pipe or motor problem - if motor working fine (which you can hear), then it's likely you have a kinked/blocked pipe/crap in your reservoir.

its a right messy job youve got a blockage in your pipes

Ive had this problem and they got worse and worse untill all you could hear was the motor running, mine turned out to be a vavle on the motor section at the base of the washer bottle, I had to have the motor replaced as it was all part and parcal Main dealer part - but it wasnt too expensive either £12 or £20 cant remember cos I had it done along with someother work before a MoT.

Even if you can hear the motor it may need replacing :-)

when i pull the stalk, it makes the noise but it takes a little while for the water to come out and then when it does it trickles out. a trip to citroen on monday then i think. cheers guys

If you know a local garage they might be able to blow the blockage out with a compressor.......
