I have asked this recently but had no response :( I have recently fitted washers to my car , I hag a problem with the relay not working but this was just dirty connections and the pump now works ok .
Problem is only the jet on the drivers side sprays water the passenger side does nothing . If I pull the pipe off of the jet unit water squirts from this ok so it is not blocked frozen , now I am at work and on lates I have the unit off of the car , I have blown the jet with air and it works the tube extends and air comes ot of the nozzles it did not at first so may be it was blocked I just tried it back on the pipe on the car and nothing happened on this side again the tube did not extend at all yet alone spray . It does work with air though .so seems to be pressure problem . Are the units handed in any way other than the actual nozzle units :question are the units strippable in any way :question
-
:o Am I the only one that has had this problem :) I have just taken mine apart , so to answer myself they are not really strippable but it can be done with care . I have not really found anything wrong it all seemed to be ok .
So next step will be try it on the other side and see what it does as I know the one is working . Weather depending :D

I'm sure I've seen recently that BMW 5 series light washer nozzles can be fitted to the Omega which are cheap enough as a replacement
-
Its not the nozzles that are the problem it is the extending unit they fit on too that seems to be the problem ;)
-
are you getting enough pressure there?
-
try blocking the "working" one ( clamp the pipe with molegrips ??) and see if the "bad " one then works .. if it does then you have a pressure balance problem, if it doesn't then you still have a blockage somewhere
-
not sure but there seems to be there is a good jet with the pipe off , I will try swapping them over tomorrow the pipe to the one that works is shorter so I am thinking it may be all going that way as its the shortest route and this is starving the other side . It means taking the headlights out again just to try it .

might be easier to drop bumper off to test

;D It might be but its a bit cold to be playing with water outside in this weather ;D I will bring it in to work next weekend and get it inside to do that :y
