    Default Need help w/ windsheild washer problem

    I have replaced the pump, cleaned the reservoir, shot air through the hoses to unclog anything, cleaned the nozzles w/ a pin and put new fluid in. The best i can get is a little dribble out of the right one and weak spray from the left one. They are properly attached. Am I missing anything? I would love to have proper use of them again. Unfortunately I have to prep the car for sale and I want to make sure everything works. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    J

    similar on mine, but maybe not the same ... the tubing where it transfers to the bonnet (hood in US-speak) was almost flattened and set rigid like that (due to age I guess) ... new tubing = great washers now

    You're selling your 5?!

    I'm sure there are about 10 million people who would like to buy those wheels.

    jason try to disconnect one of the hoses and see if it pumps to that point. I cant get a pin in my squrters cause its too big, they could be clogged.

    Pop the bonnet and have a look at the lining right under the nozzle if it is wet then you have a leak in the non return valve thingy, which is hidden behind the lining
