Re: 200q winshield washer nozzles

Hi Don+ADs-

    Sounds like the nozzle is plugged. You could try chasing it out with a
very fine wire from the outside, but be careful not to damage or enlarge the
nozzle - this would reduce the velocity from the nozzle and may affect the
spray pattern.

+AD4-hi Fred
+AD4-
+AD4-did not have much luck with this.  boot is on fine.  the line pumps lots
+AD4-of fluid when i disconnect it.  just won't push it through the nozzle
+AD4-with any force.  spent a good deal of time trying to remove the
+AD4-nozzle from the hood, so i could bring in the house and flush out.
+AD4-but just couldn't get it out.  decided to concentrate on my alternator
+AD4-problem.
+AD4-
+AD4-anyone know how to pull the heated insert out of the nozzle?

+AD4APg-Hi Don+ADs-
+AD4APg-
+AD4APg-    The nozzle could be plugged, but the washer hose on the drivers side
is
+AD4APg-notorious for backing out of the rubber at the nozzle just enough so it
+AD4APg-looks connected, but leaks enough to drop the pressure at the nozzle to a
+AD4APg-drizzle. A telltale clue is a puddle of WW antifreeze on the plenum cover.
