Didn't realise there were so many ways to clear a blocked washer nozzle. Good fixes for those annoying times when the jets either don't work at all or spray in the wrong direction. Thanks for heads-up.
No problem, RDT.
Something to add preceding all of the great unblocking tips would be to check the water reservoir is not empty. If there is no water in the reservoir it may appear to be blocked, many thanks and contrafibularites Jason 😊
Good luck with your CZcams channel, Jason.
Love the enthusiasm and energy! Great in depth video
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.
That's my weekend sorted. I've been meaning to clean my rear screen washer. Now I know how, especially using household items. Thanks Stephen. Love your videos.
Good luck, Philip. Glad you like the channel.
Love your three methods to unblock your washer jets. Think I would be able to do that when needed.
Glad the video helped, Anne.
Hello Stephen.Well explained and thankyou.When I was younger I remember a neigbour had this trouble with his old Cortina.He resorted to using Drain Cleaner and agitation which worked well.Be wary and protect your eyes and hands.
Thank you, Mark. My grandfather had a few Cortinas. Perhaps he used drain cleaner, too! Hope you're well.
What a brilliant idea mine on the left isn't as good as the drivers side, so tomorrow I will have a go, you have a good weekend mate
Sounds good. Let me know if you need to borrow the fuse wire! Enjoy your weekend too, Ian.
Another good video.
Being working class I don't think I've ever seen white vinegar. 😃
Thank you, Nta16. Perhaps white vinegar only exists in myth!
@@CarSpyTV obviously posh 'ouses 'ave it. 😄
It's too posh for the likes of me, guv!
When your in trouble, all you need is an enthusiastic brit to solve your problems haha
Glad the video helped and best wishes from the UK.
Brilliant thank you. MOT tomorrow and one washer is blocked. Will try to see which method works. 😊
You're welcome. More videos to follow. Good luck with the MOT.
Great explanation - and entertaining! On my old Getz the nozzles were clear, but there was an airlock or something in the main tube: blowing down it and running the pump while blocking and unblocking pipe with my thumb fixed things. I would have hesitated to pull off pipes until seeing your video! Appreciated.
Thank you. I'm glad the video helped you fix your car. Best wishes from CarSpyTV.
Great how-to and well explained.
Thanks Bob. I'm still looking for the needle!
Hope you find the needle before it finds you!
Thank you off to give your suggestions ago 🙏
You're welcome and best of luck.
Thank you!!!! I’m come from Italy
You’re welcome and best wishes from the UK.
Thank you just what I was looking for 😊
You're welcome. Glad the video helped.
Lol, some elements of this video made me chuckle. 😂 it’s always best to know the tips and tricks. I think the front washer jets on my car are a different kind of design. I miss this kinds of washers.
Thank you, Matt. Mrs CarSpyTV is now wondering why she can't find her toothbrush!
@@CarSpyTV haha, poor Mrs CarSpyTV. I hope you buy her a better one to replace it. Lol.
brilliant worked for me thank you
You're welcome.
Thanks alot it's useful video. I will do mine by weekend.
Glad the video helped. Plenty more to follow.
Thank you for this. I am off to have fun.
You're welcome, Paul.
I just love you!
Thank you, Tasha. Very kind! There’s plenty more content to follow. Best wishes from CarSpyTV.
Another fab vid. Where's the chips to go with the vinegar?
I blame the dog!
you are amazing!
Thank you! That's appreciated.
Hahaha i thought i was the only one who used a sewing needle to clear the washer jets. When i go at it from the underneath i wedge a drinking straw over the port and blow through it to clear it. I might try the dental brush next time! 🤣🤣🤣
And I might try a straw! Good idea.
👍, I'll try it on my old Nissan Micra K12, I hope it works
Good luck and best wishes from CarSpyTV.
Great video. Giving me Pemnywise vibes 🤣
Glad you enjoyed the video and best wishes from CarSpyTV.
Great video Would descaler work as well as the bicarb mate?
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. I haven't tried descaler on washer jets, but I suspect it would work.
What if the jets aren’t on the bonnet, but are on the car( ie you have tried method 1 but can’t do the others ? )
Perhaps there's a video specific to your car that explains how to remove the jets. Good luck. Susan.
Such a funny video great editing. also does the washer tank ever need unblocking? Thank you
Personally, I've never had a reservoir get so dirty that it's blocked. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Love old nissan micra
Me too. I prefer it to the K12.
Why not try the washers with the pipe disconnected to see if washer fluid is flowing to the jets before assuming it’s the nozzles?
That's certainly a good way to confirm the pump, switch, fuse, and tubes work before clearing the jets. Best wishes from CarSpyTV.
A job for tomorrow 👍👍
Good luck with it.
Why doesn't anyone deal with rear washers? I cant even see the bottom of the jet or the pipe to it on my daughter's 2015 KA.
You may have to remove some interior trim, Martin. Good luck.
Are you a dentist or mechanic 😂
Not sure! I'll check my CV.
I used a water pick for cleaning teeth and blasted a good bit of debris out. Nozzles are spraying like brand new now
Glad you've got it sorted.
Simply just blow some Compressed air through the hose, clears blockage in no time
Yep. That's a good solution if you have a compressor (or a can of air). Thanks for the comment.
I just fixed mine before an MOT check
Glad the video helped, Jake. Best wishes from CarSpyTV.
Instead of water, it might be better using white vinegar. That'll make a proper reaction. Let it work overnight and no more clogging.
Thanks for the suggestion and best wishes from CarSpyTV.
MiX the bi carb with the vinegar you get a chemical reaction ...it fizzes like a soda drink😊
Interesting idea!
vinegar works too
I think baking soda and white vinegar is what bubbles and cleans just about anything.
Thanks for the comment and best wishes from CarSpyTV.

Method 1 , replace them with new ones, from Amazon , cheap 😊
Never! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to use dental products on a car! Best wishes from CarSpyTV. 😊
Will spent 10 $ to you if you could show how to change the throttle body
First option: blast them close-up with a pressure washer.
Has a pressure washer worked for you, Iain?
Yes, it has. I suppose how badly bunged up the jets are. Along with the needle, it’s probably a good first option.
Interesting comment. Thanks.
