Windscreen washers

[ythanbank]

When I operate the windscreen wiper and press the washer, the drivers side wiper is not spraying. Thinking the spray nozzles may be blocked I tried pushing a pin into the spray nozzles but it makes little difference. Anyone else with this problem?

You probably need to trace the tubes ... a couple of people have found one has come adrift from its connector.

As well as the not uncommon connectors issue, the spray pattern is subtle (personal opinion is that it is inadequate) and only flows during initial movement immediately after starting from passenger side.

From our experience, drivers blade has stopped being sprayed long before the blade reaches drivers side and it seems then to rely on the already wetted blade for the remainder of the cycle.

I agreed with the above observation.

I asked my boy to press the wipers while I watched from outside the car. The drivers side was actually working.

It’s actually another great example of innovation.

Have you checked for a disconnect hose? 1 minute fix rather than waiting

Yes, checked hoses yesterday and they are intact. I think it is either the nozzle or the hose feeding the nozzle is blocked.
