That is limescale blocking the washers.... It does the same on my bmw until i unclog it......

@rvsgamer Yeah they keep getting blocked, regularly! I used to use compressed air to clear them but I don't have access to that as easily any more. What do you use?

[rvsgamer]

All i do is carefully take the washer jets off the end of the tube and blow into them... after i done that i tap the washer jet on the floor to remove any limescale thats built up :-)

@rvsgamer The latest blockage wasn't in the jets this time. There is a rubber seal where the small jet pump meets the washer liquid container. The filter attached to the seal was blocked. Clearing it did the trick!

Bleach is what worked for me. I tried everything else but in the end half a bottle of neat bleach in the system, drained after 12 hrs. Three months later it's still blasting like a geyser!
