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 👌

Say what?! Why?

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. :wink:

Jose Cuervo Gold apparently works better than its cheaper White bug remover variant from Aldi stockists.
Drunken highway seasonal grain Galahs appear to become very messy windscreen addicted to the White shiit too[emoji2961]
Nuffy MB Tip: Always carry a say ‘Powerade’ bottle or two with clean H2O inside for unfortunate higher volume manual squirter needs sometimes required whilst rolling out there [emoji106][emoji106]

I get the vinegar bit mate, the apple cider I don't. Maybe he was after the fresh apple smell on the windscreen....

Never said anything about vinegar.

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

X2 with pollenface, I keep a sewing needle in my dash mat,
I use it to direct to flow of water to where I want it.
The "tom cats" are like a ball socket so easy to adjust
