We clear them all the time in work with a high pressure airline. You have to remove the washer pipes first though because, as has already been said, you just push the crap back down the pipe and it comes back almost immediately and blocks the same, or another, jet.

No good for you Badger, by the time you turn up with the milk there will be none left.  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

You'll be passing plenty of farms once you get off the M40.....all sell fresh milk, so no need for me to bring any this time.

You won't see many Romanian Car Wash businesses in Gaydon though, so no excuses mind!  Foraging near Gaydon....

After years of messing about with paper clips and needles, I just treated myself to one of these.

Looks good but it doesn't clean the crap out does it?

I realise this is an old thread but I’m sure the problem of apparently blocked washers is still around so here’s another thing to check. There are non return valves on the feed pipe to each washer jet and if these fail no water can get through to the jets. This was the cause of no water coming out of the driver's side washer on my FL2. As a temporary fix I took the valve apart, removed the innards - the rubber seal had disintegrated, and refitted it as just a straight through fitting. A new one is on its way from fleaBay for a few quid.

(I’m assuming there is one for each washer but I admit I didn’t check the passenger side for one.)
