Washer jet blocked!

[HypnoToad]

What's the best way of fixing a blocked washer jet on the K12?

I was going to try a pin but I didn't want to damage it, is it ok to use a pin?

Good question. One of the two nozzles on each side of mine have gone a bit rubbish. If I can find a needle, I'll nip out now...

I never knew that, the jets are clipped underneath the trailing edge of the bonnet. The needle made no difference but I took the jets off (pull - HARD) and blew a mouthful of spirit vinegar through them from each end to dissolve any build up, re-attached and PERFECT.

Tastes like @$$ though .

Thanks, I'll have a go at this tomorrow, it sounds like the jets are easy enough to remove.

I don't have any spirit vinegar though, it will have to be the normal stuff, I doubt it will taste any better! :laugh:
