washer jets

[Danny]

Recently after all this hot weather my washer jets seem to have lost power and only spray onto the bonnet unless im moving. ive tried using a pin to unblock them several times but no joy. is there a pump or anything to push the water out? also if i was to remove them from the bonnet where can i buy the 1s from that are built into the window wiper?

many thanks

thinks to check,

1. blockages - remember if you shove a pin in your only pushing the dirt into the washer jet, when you start spraying it will block again

2. Alignment - check where they are pointing, cant remember if you can angle them on the bravo but worth a look

3. None return valve - there will be a small valve in the pipe near the pump (which is on the bottom of the water bottle for the washer) which stops the water flowing back into the bottle. If this isn't working it will take ages for the pump to pump the water through the pipe to the jets.

5. Fluid level - make sure there is plenty of water in the bottle

4. The pump - if all else fails try a new pump, i doubt the veins would have worn but you never know!
