windscreen squirters

[Ozdunker]

Havent had time to fully explore things. Thought I would ask as someone else normally knows.

My windscreen squirters are not working properly, its more of a dribble :(

I am guessing it is the pressure of the water being delivered.

There is a pump at the bottom of the jdm washer bottle that is pumping water.

There is another small device that the tubes connect to on the left hand corner of the engine bay. I am guessing that this must be another smaller pump that isnt working. Does this sound correct?

Anyone else had this problem.....(with their car)

try unblocking any shit that may be in the squirters with a needle

that other pump in the other corner is for the rear hatch squirter if i remember correctly, but i might be wrong about this.

heaps of cars i do at work have crap in the inlet of the pump.

usually due to old water in the bottle. remove the pump and have a look at the inlet, see if its all plugged up with slimy shit.

most common problem is blocked nozzles usually with polish, then again pumps can fail. easiest way is disconnect then line then operate the washers, if it comes out reasonably well look at the pump for blockage or even failure.

the thing in the corner is the wiper motor, the pump should be on the actual bottle

No, the thing in the corner is a solenoid that directs water to the rear. If your front squirters aren't working, check for blockages in all your lines and squirters. It isn't hard to sort.

ok thanks.

have blown through the tubes. might have to pull it all and and also clean the pump as well.

is it? well there u go...... ive heard its a wiper motor all the time :P

I wonder if you put an airline on the end of the hose, if it would blow the little balls out of squirters. Maybe not a good idea to try. I imagine they could block up easily though.
