Washer Jet.

1984 110. One of my windscreen washer jets isn't working, well it dribbles occasionally. How do I get to the back of it to check it out?

Pull. It should come away from the bit attached to the bulkhead.

What ever you do don't unscrew it or you will need to strip the whole dashboard out to do the nut up again. Thanks guys the sprayshop who chose to try and unscrew mine and then gave up and left them balanced in place :-(

You don't need to - its more than likely that the nozzel is blocked - just get a pin and poke out the obstruction.

Richard

He should have two separate jets though, not the later twin in the middle setup and they don't need massive dashboard disassembly - just long thin arms :)

Similar problem here. The retaining nut for the washer jets has obviously fallen off inside the vehicle. But the thought did occur to me to replace it with two singles donated from my Pug

504 collection when I am forced to dissassemble. Oh, and the one to the rear door seems to have a part missing. It fires a single squirt horizontally rearwards which is handy when another vehicle is driving too close.

The problem with this method is you just push the s*it back into the pipework so it can be forced back into the nozzle later having said that it is the easiest method and works short term

Andy

Can you reach it by taking out the dashboard ash tray?

My ash tray is above the fuse box, but I think I'll try removing the top of the dash.

there are not many screws holding the top of the dash on... dunno if that helps you get at the washer jets mind.
