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

  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

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?

[Entwood]

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

[LFF64]

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

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

lol at my work we have an underground carpark... not that any cars go in there (except the triumph spitfire) thats there from the factorys previous owners that i think was a little project that never got finished/started properly but it'd be great to work on omegas in!
