Blocked windshield fluid pipes?

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

When I hit the windshield fluid lever, it's looks like it has prostate problems... it just sort of drips out. At first I thought it was some of the caked on wax on the little sprayers but they seem to be ok. Would it be air in the lines? Or a blockage or just need replacing?

The sprayer nozzles on the hood are famous for getting clogged.
I doubt it a tube issue, more likely the pump or nozzles.

Likely that wax got in th enozzle tips. You can try to scrub them with a tooth brush and some soapy water (trying to get the bristles down in the holes). I've had luck with that technique before.

Taylor swapped his nozzles out for CR-V nozzles that I got him when I worked at Honda. Holy hell they worked a ton better.

Ok time for some hot water and scrubbing!

or just remove the system all together...

If you need to use the windshield washer fluid, then that's an indication that your car could use a wash! :) I couldn't tell you the last time I used it, in fact, not that I think about it, I'm pretty sure the tanks in both my cars are completely empty....

I don't think that's true. I can think of plenty of occasions that I've used mine, and I'm OCD about keeping my car clean. (Except right now of course. :( )

My car's pretty much always clean, just not right now!

If hot soapy water gets you no joy stick a pin in the little holes in the sprayers to clear them

I've never used the washer fluid either!

I've used mine a lot..... they even get used on the interstate to ward off tailgaters....

[MeFryRice]

Well in that case, you have the nozzles aimed a tad higher so they squirt directly over the windshield.

[Doppelgänger]

nah, 70mph winds will take care of that :)

just take it off. it makes it look 100000000000x cleaner under the hood. when i did it to mine i just left the nozzles so i didnt have holes in the hood.

[deerock]

vouching for jesses idea. we did it last night along with the coolant overflow reservoir, and it looks hella better under there. now its just to pressure wash the crap out of it.

Yeah... I'm more about being able to clean bugs/deer and various other **** I hit on the highways off my windscreen rather than the organisation of piping under my hood :D

[simontibbett]

I ripped mine out
