Car windscreen washer jets rear and front

To water the window a washing nozzle is used. With the help of the nozzle water is pulverized in such a way that the necessary part of the glass is washed. On many cars it is possible to install the nozzle manually. Many cars have two washing nozzles on the wind screen and one nozzle on the rear screen. Nozzles are narrowly spaced on the hood, wind screen or on the rear screen.

If the nozzle malfunctions, it is blocked. In this case it is necessary to clean it. If the defect still exists, the nozzle must be replaced. Detach the defect nozzle from the washer. Then remove it and install a new one. After this connect the hose and check its functioning. Replace the nozzle carefully not to damage the lacquering of the car. When mounting, it is possible to wind the nozzle with an adhesive tape.

Service life of windscreen washer sprayers is the question of quality of the washing agent in use. If all recommended conditions are met, you should not buy new sprayers for 5–10 years. You should not try to save on special washing agents and use water, especially without any filtration. Even in a warm season use of water will significantly reduce the nozzles service life and it will not exceed two years in that case.

Repair and replacement of Spray nozzle

If nozzles are soiled, they can be cleaned with the help of an ordinary needle. However the positive effect will be short so these elements should be replaced anyway. Besides such method does not suit for nozzles of fan type.

To replace the components, pry a sprayer up and remove it. Then it is necessary to press clips carefully and take the nozzles off. Be careful as the excessive pressure can break their fixations. When installation of new parts is complete, adjust the angle of a liquid spraying.

As for the soiled nozzles of rear window they are only to be replaced.
