Had a bit of an issue with my washers the other day in that they stopped working so I removed the inline Tee piece and elbow from the screen washer system on my S2 and they were fully choked up so rather than buying new ones immediately I soaked them for about an hour in white vinegar then sucked and pumped some through the items with a syringe and what came out was awful. However after disconnecting the tubing from the pump and sucking through some clean soapy water and reconnecting the Tee and elbow pieces my washers work brilliantly, I also pumped clean fluid through the nozzles again with a large syringe and what came out of them was pretty nasty too.

Not saying it will work everytime but definately worth a try to save buying new items.

Will have to try this on mine. Fluid only squirts out of one jet due to a clogged t-piece. It has a cheapy after market pump on it which I don't think it putting enough pressure through sadly.

Had this problem every MOT with mine. Unless you thoroughly flush the washer bottle out thoroughly the problem will return. I've bought some new washer jets for mine but I need to change the bonnet as mine has a 924 bonnet & they are 944 jets.
