    GU windscreen washers !

    Hi all is it a feature or a fault ?
    The washers on the bonnet ! the drivers side work well but the passengers side are crap. I have cleaned the jets out and soaked in Clr etc but can get much on the passengers side . is there some sort of restrictor missing .

    Probably just a lot of crud built up that keeps blocking it up. You might have to clean the lines all the way back to the bottle.

    There’s a plastic T piece on the underside of the hood. This might be blocked or split. But it would leak if it was split. More than likely a blockage between the T and the nozzle. More than likely the nozzle is rooted.

    Keep a sewing pin in the ashtray and poke them when the clog up. They get calcified.

    I also run metho in the water, it smells less toxic then windscreen washer stuff, does a good job and stops the algae/bacteria from brewing.

    I actually haven't seen metho on the shelves since covid.

    Whatever you do, don't fill the washer bottle with apple cider, I did once and a month later I regretted it.

    It smelled horrible and didn't really assist in washing the windscreen. Live and learn I suppose...

    Im just trying to comprehend why one would even think of using apple cider vinegar in the first place.

    Makes total sense to give the Apple variant at least a try I agree

    Never said anything about vinegar.

    It was alcoholic apple cider. I was 18, drunk and refilling my washer bottle. Good times
