Washer jet blocked?

[leestudd30]

My passenger side one is struggling to get any water through. I've disconnected it from the bonnet and the pipe that goes with it and soaked them overnight in some warm water with fairy liquid. Some crap got came out but I can't get a pin or needle through the jet to unblock it that way, is there anything else I could soak it in?

3 choices

I recently cleaned mine in lemon juice and it works a treat on lime scale.

Alternatively they come under the category of 'it fits in your pocket so it's free at the breakers'

3rd and final after all else has failed option, buy a new one as they cost less than the diesel you've used trying options 1 and 2

get youself a set of atomising ones instead - they're much better & mine have never blocked.

If you've not got any bell wire available, find one of those bag ties that used to come with bin bags or can be found holding new cables or kids toys in their packaging and strip the plastic off

Put it in a sock, tie the end up and next time you do a washing load shove it in the washer, if you have a dishwasher then they are pretty good at shifting deep seated grot too.

You mean mist jets like the D9? I tried that once, they miss and they're not adjustable.

You used to be able to lever the little eyeballs out with a pin to clean them but I'm not sure with these. When I had this problem on my D8 the thing broke as I was trying to pull the pipe off and that's when I discovered that they're cheap as chips from the dealer.
