Rear washer.

Post by ben3486 »

My rear washer wont let water come through. The water gets to it fine as the pressure pushes the tube off and it sprays into the boot lol. so im guessing its blocked, but is there any thing that can can cause this to not let the water though? or is it a case of limescale build up over ten years? and is there a quick easy way to clean it all out? cheers guys.

I had the same problem dude,i thought it was the common split washer pipe.

I have a friend who rebuilds engines but for some reason had alittle tool that mechanics use,it can unblock the small squirter hole and be used to reposition the squirters beem as they are on a small ball joint.Take it to a garage and get them to clean it out with such tool or give it a go with a small pin or simular.

As Bradley mentioned, try with a pin/needle, might be just a glogged squirter. if it doesn't work try using one of those anti-limescale household agents (bref) :twisted:
