minor annoyance with windscreen squirters

[pillzor]

when i first got my vs the water would squirt out rather hard on both sides which is the way i like it, now it barely squirts at all enough too reach the windscreen and also i will get one strong squirt when i pull the wiper controll towards me then it goes pissweak flow again.
does this sound like there is air in the lines or something , anyone know how too get it squirting powerfully again? the motor or whatever it is that pushes the water out sounds fine, i can hear it working.
been playing with it all week and i cant figure out how too get the water flow going strong again.

the pump probly aint as strong as it used to be

or the holes on the squirters are blocked

yeh i might go poke the holes with something, may have got polish or something in them.
ive only had the car 5 months or so , so i doubt the motor is fubar as it was working strong when i got it.

all youll do is poke the shit back in and it will want to come back out again and re-block it...carefully take the rubber hose off the back cause they break easy if you dont, then blow air in the hole to blow the crap out the back and plug the hose back on...too easy...

[pillzor]

blow on the end that squirts or the other end?

My squirters leak, on a bumpy road it dribbles out all over the bonnet on the drivers side squirter. Shits me off when I've just waxed the ute.

[pillzor]

they leak when you havent got the wiper stick held back?

Mine leak when I brake

[Vee-ard]

incontinence is a sign of old age...time to put them in a home

The 'smart' way to clean washer nozzles is as following:
1...fill the washer reservoir to full
2...Ignition key to ACC and have an assistant hold the washers ON
3...whilst they are squirting, inset a pin gently into the nozzle hole gently - move it around, in and out, side to side till the squirt is OK.
4....do it to the other side.

Try cleaning the reservoir bottle and the attached pump. The inlet on the pump may be blocked/clogged with algae or some other substance.
