Washer nozzle jets keep blocking up.

Hi All,

I've replaced my washer jets 3 times this year any reason they might be blocking up so much? they're heated if that helps,.

Regards,
Sol

you probably need to empty and clean the washer fluid tank. Sounds like there is some rubbish in there. Only use a good liquid screen wash.

Add some Milton sterilising fluid to the reservoir. Gets rid of the mould you can't flush out.

As per hardware , some washer fluids get black mould growing in them when left standing for a long time. You need to flush out with mould killer such as milton or similar.

I quite often find a very fine sticky sludge in the flex hoses to the jets on trucks.

Been using that cherry (not the ready mixed stuff!) screenwash from halfords and not had blocked jets for maybe a decade

I had to siphon out the washer bottle on my FFRR, added a tube of Steradent tablets and water. Left that for a day and siphoned it out, quite a lot of black particles came out. I repeated the process, but with the pipes filled with the Steradent mix.

I’ve never had the problem before, but I think it was caused by having a too weak mix of washer fluid.

I’ve always thought the yellow Halfords stuff from decades ago caused it.

Use holts now
