Guest Chumpalot Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 There I am, pootling along when it became apparent that my windscreen was indeed quite filthy. I pulled back the stalk to commence water displacement and.... nothing Okay I thought. Perhaps I've run out of water. I tried the rear and there's water so can't be that. Must be a blockage somewhere at the front. I got to my destination and luckily found a pin in that centre compartment where I keep makeup and stuff. I shoved this into the nozzles on both washer jets and twiddled them around. Pulled back the stalk, still nothing Checked the tank, loads of fluid left. Could it be a blockage somewhere further down the system? Or at the pump? I didn't have a great look but do the fronts and backs run off seperate lines straight from the pump or do they branch off further along? I have a feeling I was a bit too careless with the wax one day and a load of it has become lodged into the nozzles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it wipes the window once without, and this is important, firing the washer jets Just in case it's raining a bit or something. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a VVTi thing though, no button and pulling it works the washers as well. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I love these threads. Ok then, how many people didn't know you could lock the glovebox? Took me about 6 months. You may even have two types of keys. One will do the doors and engine but not the glove box. The other will do them all. Appariantly this is for those who dont trust valet parking.
