blockage in the jets poke a fine wire down them

[lufkin]

best thing i find is take hose off, then use a aircompressor to blow it out, simple as

[hunterjerry]

no air compressor at home =[ wat is the next best thing?

[Hot-Rod]

use a needle or a toothpick to pock the holes with to clear the blockage. Also check the rubber piping under the bonnet to make sure it's all connected correctly may have come loose.

You can buy a can of air from auto stores if u wanna be lazy.

repco dont have the one i need it =[ n yesh i check the pipping n yes it working fine n yes i poke the holes all 4 of it n still doesnt work =[

persevere with the fine needle,albeit with care,i'm sure you'll be successful.once you get them working you'll find that they've actually swivelled a bit while you've been poking around so you may have to stick the needle back in the holes and move it around a little to redirect the stream of water.double check your hoses though they can get pretty gunked up.

ok will do is there any how to take out all the hoses for cleaning or replacement?

Just follow the hoses and unplug them. You can unclip the nozzle from inside the bonnet if you want to remove them. New nozzles are $20 a pair, I priced them the other day, a bit rich as usual.

Does anyone know if you can get aftermarket ones that spray a horizontal spray as aposed to two streams from each windscreen washer nozzel?

[Cameron P]

if its coming out of 1 hole in the jet and not both then it would definetely be the jet that needs replacing and not a blockage in the hose.

so yeah if a needle doesnt work, just grab a new pair

[hunterjerry]

just got a new pair for just over 18 buck from waitara holden and they both work great so now im happy =D thanks guys

Probably a good idea to clean your washer bottle out and refill with proprietary windscreen washing solution. The commodore washer bottles are known for algae growing in them and blocking things up, especially the filter in the bottom which most owners do not know is there. Needs to be pulled out and cleaned occasionally. Or just let it go and block your new nozzles again.

CLR is great 4 these, just let them soak over night ina jar and they'll b like new again.

I'd go the needle trick, then switch them on and keep poking needle in until all shit has come out, then use the needle to re-adjust the spray direction.
I had a look in Autobarn recently for a washer nozzle set for something else I was building, but they didn't have a great range (one to choose from!) So if you are replacing them, go genuine.

Good idea to use the correct detergent in the washer water to deter any algae from growing and blocking the nozzle jets. A good splash of metholated spirits in the water will also keep things clean.
