Washer Jets Plugged. Fix or Replace?

[Jehu]

I can't imagine there's a wire thin and strong enough to shove thru the jets to clean them . Any tricks or just get a new one?

[nizmainiac]

pull a bristle out of a wire brush with a pair of pliers, that'll do it

Then disconnect the hose to the washers and blow from the outside so it doesn't just reclog the nozzle next time you use them..

I took them off, got a needle in the hole and put them in boiling water for a bit. Also cleaned out the water container as it had quite a bit of **** in it... Got it out before it re-clogged them!

I'm having a repeated problem with my washer bottle turning green :/

I bleached it, put jeyes fluid through it (like dont get this stuff on your hands, it'll burn your skin off) rinsed it, dismantled everything and it just keeps coming back and blocking the washers!

Pain in the ass!

If its dark green its probably algae. Tried hot soapy water?

a pin or needle works for "surface blockages"

Yah I actually bought a set of sewing needles but couldn't find the thinnest onces when I had the nozzle out... I couldn't blow thru but some fluid is being forced thru just a little dribble.... dribble....

Boil the kettle and pour it in... Worked for me but I didn't have algae just a lot of dark sh*tty stuff!

EDIT: Obviously while it's off the car!!! :p

Doesn't petrol kill algae???

i might be afraid to wreck them as they are tiny but you could try using a bicycle pump to blow air through them?

Go to a music store, pick up a single .014 plain guitar string, and a .023(?) smallest wound string.
You can start with the plain string to bust up the crap, then use the wound string to do the roto router thing.
