GU windscreen washers !

[Tip12345]

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.

I was experiencing the same thing ended up removing the washer motor cleanjng as best I could and replaced the lines and tpiece and somewhere along the way fixed them.

Using a bit of diluted CLR and pumping through the washer motor helped clean mine up a considerable amount. Hope that helps 👌

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.
