washer jets
« on: 14 June 2015, 16:55:26 »
To the screen are p** poor. All 4 nozzles are clear but there's no " umph" in them.. Only just about drizzle on the screen... The jets to head lights are great.. So I have a blockage somewhere so what's the procedure?

It's as old as the hills too. One of the first jobs I ever did on the omega.

The first thing I did on oof was browse through the guide section and take in all that free help,advise and info about how to look after ones car. You'll find the answers to niggles you didn't know where a problem I'm betting.

Now go look. ;)


Edit, at the rest of the guides too. ;D

There are very few "common" issues that don't have a guide.

I would add, the usual cause of a blocked filter is not using screen wash. This is known to cause legionnaires in severe cases.
