clogged water spray nozzle

[incoming]

how do i clean it out..?

tried air compressor, turps in coke bottle and shook it...
still clogged!!

any suggestions?

[bennjamin]

how about you grab a pin or needle...and poke it in there. Should un clog it.

Get a small sewing needle and just push it through. Should clean it out fine.

have you checked that the mini pump is actually working by disconnecting the water lines from the nozzle?

using a pin usually does the trick cleaning those things...

I hit it at the same time as you did (even though it says a minute difference) :) :p

[bennjamin]

god dam. lol

oi incoming....try this.

Open your bonnet and then spray the wiper motor. Does it spray ? Chances are the rubber piping is kinking up somewhere.

haha ben yes i done that
thats how i know its the nozzles
i got one spraying but its piss weak

[bennjamin]

tried swapping em side to side ?

[dsp26]

just get some from pick n payless or those 3 nozzle ones from ebay or those wide spray ones from autobarn :p

[incoming]

yep that too...
should prolly just get new ones hey

[lukecivic]

maybe the pump isnt working at full power?

[incoming]

how can i test that?
wouldnt BOTH noozles be spraying weak?
only 1 is spraying weak

fcuk i should just get to the wrecking yard

[bennjamin]

disconnect the nozzles - put your finger/s over the pipes to both and get someone to spray the wipers - it should spray enough to get around your finger (like a hose)
Just go get some nozzles from the markets for like $5

use a pin to push tgrough where the water comes out

[incoming]

probly cloged with polish wax etc, try carby cleaner or soak in wax and grease cleaner or similar, then blow out with compressed air.
Wouldn't reccomend using pin as you might enlarge the hole changing spray pattern.

Good luck bud, and yeh theres always the wreckers

I have this problem on the rear jet of my DC5. There is no buildup in the nozzle, as I have tried to use a pin etc... My next guess is to try and take it off and see. Anyonw know how to do that? Just now I tried to twist it off.. but it just keeps rotating, I tried pulling it up and pushing it forward/back/left right. I don't really want to break anything.
