89-92 micra K10? washer jets blocked, help please...........

[bumperman]

How on earth do you remove/clean out washer jets on this model without destroying them?
Pushing a fine needle thru doesn't work 'cos the jet seems to turn 90 degrees!
I thought I was good at this sort of thing, but now I'm not so sure...............

Urgent answer please as I've got an MOT booked today!

Thanks

Don't know the K10 but on some cars they're held in from underneath with plastic spring tabs that you need to release with needle nose pliers, which can be proper fiddly. Fingers crossed for MoT eh.

Yup unclip from bonnet then clean as you wish.

Ive a footpump connected directly to washer jet before to build up the pressure to get the blockage shifted...just keep your face clear.
