I have a 2014 Fiat 500 - I have an issue with my Windscreen Jets. When I clean my front window it only sprays water onto the window and when I clean my back window it only sprays soap onto the window - neither window sprays a mixture of both water and soap.

Has anyone else had this issue and if you have please can you advise how to fix it? I'm quite handy with cars but this baffles me!

Thanks in advance - EmmaElizabeth

Hi
Not sure if its a temperature thing - its been doing it since the summer. I think ill wait until it's empty then just flush it through with water. Maybe its the soap the previous owner used - I just find it odd how its either one or the other on each window and not a mixture of both water & soap.

This has never happened before on any car I've owned

I have experienced this before on our old 12 plate Panda (so essentially the same parts as the 500).

However, it always used to sort itself out in the end so I have no idea really what caused it

Maybe try popping some warmish water into the screenwash reservoir and then just gradually releasing it all (so as not to put too much strain on the washer motor in one go). The warmer water might help to release any gunk that is trapped?

Other than that, not sure what screenwash you use, but I have always found Comma products to be very good. If you are able to get hold of Comma Xstream, that stuff is super concentrated and will apparently be good up to -65 degrees:

No idea on how much it costs nowadays though!
